Explanation: Emperor Aurelian was a key part of restoring the Roman Empire after it split during the Crisis of the Third Century. Because of his (successful) efforts to reunite the break-away states back into the imperial fold, he received the title Restitutor Orbis - the restorer of the world. Queen Zenobia and Tetricus II were the leaders of the two largest breakaway states, and both were spared by Aurelian after he defeated them, despite Aurelian having a somewhat infamously firm sense of justice.
Therefore, here he is, in his everlasting benevolence, granting his mercy to these lowly traitors 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
