XXIX. Аврелиан (царств. 5 лет и 6 месяцев)

The 17th Bishop of the Church of Antioch, Timaeus, is ordained. Aurelian, after Tetricus betrayed his army at the Catalaunians, returned it to Gaul. Zenobia, who, after the murder of her husband Odaenathus, ruled the East, near Immi, not far from Antioch, is defeated. In this battle, the commander Pompeian, nicknamed Frank, fought very bravely against her, whose family name continues in Antioch, and from this family comes our dear Evagrius. Eusebius, Bishop of Laodocia, is famous. During Aurelian's triumphal entry into Rome, Tetricus and Zenobia walked in front of his chariot. Of these, Tetricus was later the proofreader of 23 Lucania, and Zinovia in Rome reached old age in the highest honor, and from her the Zinoviev family still exists in Rome. Aurelian builds a church to the Sun and surrounds Rome with stronger walls. Aurelian established the first games in honor of the Sun. After Aurelian initiated persecution against us, lightning fell near him and his companions and not much later he was killed between Constantinople and Irakleia, in a new guardhouse on the old road. We translate the chronicle of Eusebius according to Jerome’s account, starting only from the Nativity of Christ, bearing in mind theological and church-historical interest, which the previous part of the chronicle does not represent. On the same basis, we consider it possible to omit in the translation the chronological indication of the years from Abraham, according to the Olympiads and according to the years of the reign of the kings of Judah (before the destruction of Jerusalem) and limit ourselves to Christian chronology. Asterisks indicate testimony of dubious authenticity that is found in all lists of the chronicle according to the presentation of the bl. Jerome. Note Editorials. The co-ruler of the head of the province, the head of its part, was called the corrector. You might be interested in:
