CLAVDIVS II GOTHICVS

Reigned: 268-270 A.D.

MARCVS AVRELIVS CLAVDIVS was born in Moesia Superior about 215. He was commanding the Danubian region when he was called to Milan to help Gallienus subdue the usurper Aureolus. Gallienus was murdered at the siege and Claudius was chosen as the new Augustus in March, 268. In his first year he killed Aureolus, repelled an invasion of the Alamanni, and recovered Spain from the Gallic Empire. His second year he completed the destruction of the Goths near Naissus and moved to Sirmium to counter other barbarian threats. In the summer of 270 he died there of the plague and was deified.(Excerpt from MONETA, from www.numus.com)
