Heir of Aurelian

The year is 407 AD and Rome is at the precipice. In the West, a usurper by the name of Flavius Claudius Constantinus has declared himself emperor. By doing this, he and his traitor legions have fractured the Western Roman Empire into two. At the same time, the north bleeds! Countless germans swarm across the borders of the Empire and pillage its lands in their ruthless raids. Alaric, King of the Goths, rises to a position of prominence and threatens the ancient capital of the dying Empire with his barbarian hordes. As if things weren't bad enough, rumors from the east state that a mysterious power rises within the fogs of war, threatening to drown the Empire in a river of blood. As a response to these threats, the indolent emperor Honorius has given orders to his supreme commander Flavius Stilicho to reclaim the province of Gaul from the usurper. However, should he leave the heartland of the Empire undefended, undoubtedly Alaric would invade. Thus, under the threat of barbarians at the gates, Stilicho dispatches a young roman general by the name of Titus Claudius Marcellus to bring an end to the reign of the usurper. Will Rome fall to the tides of barbarians and traitors alike? Or can Marcellus restore a world collapsing around him? Find out in Heir of Aurelian!

An Arduous Journey North

Primus gazed upon the ongoing reconstruction of Antonine's wall. Large blacks of granite were removed from the quarries of Britannia and dragged further north into the inhospitable wasteland of Caledonia, where they stacked and mixed with cement into the formation of a grand barrier. 

Months had passed since the Romans had first recaptured this section of Britannia, and even now the Picts and Caledonians beyond the border continued to send raids against the Romans' efforts to keep them out. 

Since the Legate had brought back law and order to the region, he had done a fine job implementing Marcellus' agricultural reforms. In doing so, expanding food production for what was known as the British Isles in Marcellus' past life.
