Notes on the current edition

Divus Aurelianus

1. i.e., the Eruli, thus called because they came from the shores of Lake Maeotis (the Sea of Azov); on their invasion see Claud., vi.-xi. Aurelian seems to have distinguished himself in the course of this war (see also c. xvii. 5), and after a serious disaster to the cavalry toward its close (Claud., xi. 6-8) to have been appointed by Claudius to the command of the whole cavalry (c. xviii. 1) and thereupon to have avenged the previous defeat.
2. These names were never borne by Claudius and Aurelian; see note to Claud., i. 1.
