Nah he was a pretty meh Emporer. If you were able to be overthrown as emporer when rome was at its most stable then you aren't that good an emporer. He didn't balance the powerful actors in Rome well enough

He started out alright but went batshit. Titus never should have named him successor since it was obvious he was nuts. According to Suetonius, Titus had to plead with him to behave. The whole prophecy thing made him paranoid.

Aurelian

>Aurelian's short reign reunited a fragmented Empire while saving Rome from barbarian invasions that had reached Italy itself. His death prevented a full restoration of political stability and a lasting dynasty that could end the cycle of assassination of emperors and civil war that marked this period. Even so, he brought the Empire through a very critical period in its history, and without Aurelian it never would have survived the invasions and fragmentation of the decade in which he reigned.
