The Great Roman Civil War was the longest and most destructive civil war in the history of the Roman Empire. This war was the climax of a long period of political instability in the Roman Empire. The causes of the war were the near-simultaneous but separate challenges to the rule of Emperor Aurelian by Probus and Pinianus, the emergence of Julius Asclepiodotus as a third contender for the Roman throne after his successful mutiny against Aurelian, and a clash between forces loyal to Probus and forces loyal to Asclepiodotus that quickly got out of control.
