History: Under the reign of Gordian III not only the East frontier was in danger but the Danubian limes also, because of the German and Goth tribes. This was the first time, when Aurelian appeared, as a cavalry commander. 'Aurelian and three hundred men of his garrison alone destroyed the Sarmatians when they burst into Illyricum. Theoclius, who wrote of the reigns of the Caesars (?), relate that in the war against the Sarmatians Aurelian with his own hand slew forty-eight men in a single day and that in the course of several days he slew over nine hundred and fifty.'
