Consolidate Authority
The Emperor must not only grab the power, he must hold onto it firmly too.Taking power in any great state is an endless and strenuous endeavour, especially in Rome. The Imperial history is riddled with ambitious Senators and generals, who ascend to the throne only to have their rule toppled in four seasons or less. Great leaders recognised the importance of not only attaining the ultimate power, but also retaining that position. In his quest to reunite a broken nation, the Soldier-Emperor Aurelian did his best to win the support of both troops and lowly citizens alike by cancelling debts to the Treasury and making a public bonfire of the relevant records. The Senate were wary of their brazen Emperor, but little could be done to resist him, as he enjoyed the support of his subjects.
