(Lucius Domitius), emperor of Rome, was one of the greatest generals of antiquity, and commanded the armies of the emperor Claudius with such glory, that after the death of that emperor all the legions agreed to place him on the throne; this happened in the year 270. He carried the war from the east to the west, with as much facility, says a modern writer, as a body of troops marches from Alsace into Flanders. He defeated the Goths, Sarmatians, Marcomanni, the Persians, Egyptians, and Vandals; conquered Zenobia queen of the Palmyrenians, and Tetrius general of the Gauls; both of whom were made to grace his triumph, in the year 274. He was killed by one of his generals in Thrace in the year 275, when he was preparing to enter Persia with a great army. See Rome.
