	Claudius II - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Marcus Aurelius Claudius Gothicus (May 10, 213/214 - January, 270), more often referred to as Claudius II, was a Roman emperor: he ruled the Roman Empire for less than two years (268 - 270), but during that brief time he managed to obtain some successes.
		Claudius was the commander of the Roman army that defeated decisively the Goths at the battle of Naissus, in September 268; in the same month, he attained the throne, amid charges, never proven, that he murdered his predecessor Gallienus.
		Claudius responded quickly and swiftly, routing the Alamanni at the Battle of Lake Benacus in the late fall of 268, a few months after the battle of Naissus.

	Roman timeline from 268AD to 284AD
		Although the most substantive source on Claudius is the biography in the Scriptores Historiae Augustae (SHA), this account is riddled with fabrications and slanted with fawning praise for this particular emperor, who in the 4th century was viewed as an ancestor of Constantine's father and thus of the ruling imperial family.
		Victor goes on to claim that after succeeding to the purple Claudius forced the Senate to deify Gallienus. The SHA account states that the soldiers mutinied after Gallienus's death and had to be quieted with a donative of twenty aurei each before settling down and accepting their new emperor.
		Claudius II issued an unusual and scarce series of coins that features a pair of deities, who are presumably conservatores Augusti, on each reverse.

		It is possible Wermuth was taking his information from Claudius' life in the Historia Augusta, a resource which attempts to "smooth over" some of the details as to how the emperors were elevated to give a person an impression there was clear, planned and consistent rule of the empire.
