Fall of Tyana
Time: 272
Place: Tyana (Present-Day Kemerhisar, Niğde Province, Turkey)
Details: Asia Minor was recovered easily; every city but Byzantium and Tyana surrendered to him with little resistance. The fall of Tyana lent itself to a legend: Aurelian to that point had destroyed every city that resisted him, but he spared Tyana after having a vision of the great 1st-century philosopher Apollonius of Tyana, whom he respected greatly, in a dream.

Best-effort ordering. Some events may appear out of order since many are only known to the year, but they are usually around the same period.
