Years: 275 - 275
Aurelian marches to open a campaign against Persia early in 275, gathering an army as he continues eastwards.
In the autumn, after Aurelian's private secretary, charged with extortion, allegedly misleads a group of officers to mistakenly believe that they are marked for execution, the conspirators murder the emperor at Caenophrurium, a small Thracian town between Perinthus and Byzantium.
