Aurelian and the Revolt of the Alexandrians

Aurelian took palmira without a fight and once again marched in as its conqueror. A few of the more important religious buildings were left untouched and still sit in the syrian desert to this day. But the rest of the city was destroyed. Aurelian then turned on alexandria and quickly brought an end to the revolt there that had neither the men nor the resources to work without palmyrian assistance.
