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!

The Other Fronts

Primus stood outside the makeshift fortifications that had been established with the intent of keeping the northern tribes beyond the newly reconquered Antonine's wall. He gazed over the edge of the wooden palisade with a stern glare, watching and waiting for any sign of an enemy attack.

Though the Antonine's Wall had been reconquered in the name of Rome, it would need significant work to be made into a barrier that could contain the northern tribes. For the time being, the Imperial Legate was the leading officer in charge of the Diocese of Britannia, a region that was previously abandoned by the western Romans. 

However, with the return of Roman troops to the shores of Britannia, the warring tribes and criminal elements were quickly expunged from the territory. Now the borders of Britannia stretched further than they had ever done so before. Primus had truly earned his place in history, and yet he did not sit back and rely on his past laurels.
