Acreulus, a prominent Thracian commander in the Roman Army, was assassinated by Aeleonica on 18 May 72 AD. Aeleonica(with help from Centurion Titus Pullo the Younger) snuck into the Temple of Jerusalem at night where Acreulus was staying at during the First Jewish-Roman War. The assassination was the last of a series of conspiracies that started with Aeleonica insulting Acreulus after he said that Sarmatians cannot be warriors in the Milites Fortunae. After the assassination Aleonica fled Judaea to Armenia and stayed there for a number of years. Titus Pullo was caught fleeing the scene and was executed for treason. The ramifications of the assassination deteriorated Milites Fortunae's relations with the Roman Empire and led to the decline of Milites Fortunae in the 2nd century AD.
