Gallic Rome (Empire Divided) Governance Tier 5

Prosecute Official Misconduct

In order to secure stable reign, an Emperor often had to turn a blind eye to governmental officials whose purses were full due to deeds of dubious honesty. The reason was simple – although corrupt people were criminals, they could still be useful to the Empire. However, a few exceptions need to be mentioned. Emperor Aurelian, for example, was notorious for his strict adherence to discipline and law. When he found out that workers in the Imperial mint were stealing silver and producing low quality coins, he sentenced Felicissimus, the 'rationalis' or mint overseer, to death. This caused an uproar among the mint workers and they openly rebelled. Without hesitation, Aurelian ordered his 'cohorts urbanae' to deal with the mob. The revolt was crushed after a gory battle on the Caelian Hill. Many of the surviving rebels were executed along with any man foolish enough to support the rebellion. Aurelian’s justice had prevailed.
