The Thrice Named Man XI: Barbarian

The year is 262 AD and the once proud Roman Empire is being devoured from the outside and rotting from within.
It will take a man with iron in his veins to set things right and accomplish the impossible.
From a humble upbringing, a boy emerges who is destined to change history.
This is the story of Lucius Domitius Aurelianus.
***
Part XI: Barbarian
Gallienus is losing the fight against Postumus.
In an attempt to stem the tide, the desperate emperor buries the hatchet and sends for the man who walks in the shadow of Mars the Avenger.
Lucius calls on old alliances to make inroads into Gaul, but he soon learns that an enemy lurks in the shadows – a foe more powerful and devious than he has ever faced.
The one with many heads entices the wild tribes with gold to do his bidding, endangering the lives of all who Lucius holds dear.
But what the enemy does not know is that Eochar of the Roxolani is not a Roman who can be swayed by the glitter of gold, but rather a barbarian who pays back his debts with iron.
