Encyclopedia Britannica



CLAUDIUS, MARCUS AURELIUS

This article appears in Volume V06, Page 466 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: CHR-CLI
CLAUDIUS, MARCUS AURELIUS , surnamed GOTHICUS, Roman emperor A.D. 268-270, belonged to an obscure Illyrian family. On account of his military ability he was placed in command of an army by Decius; and Valerian appointed him general on the Illyrian frontier, and ruler of the provinces of the lower
Danube
 . During the reign of Gallienus, he was called to Italy in order to crush Aureolus; and on the death of the emperor (268) he was chosen as his successor, in accordance, it was said, with his express desire. Shortly after his
accession
  he routed the Alamanni on the Lacus Benacus (some doubt is thrown upon this); in 269 a
great
  victory over the Goths at Naissus in Moesia gained him the title of Gothicus. In the following year he died of the plague at Sirmium, in his fifty-
sixth
  year. He enjoyed
great
  popularity, and appears to have been a man of ability and
character
 .
His
life
  was written by Trebellius Pollio, one of the Scriptores Historiae Auguslae; see also Zosimus i. 4o-43, the histories of Th. Bernhardt and H. Schiller, and
special
  dissertations by A.
Duncker
  on the
life
  of
Claudius
  (1868) and the defeat of the Alamanni (Annalen des Vereins fiir nassauische Altertumskunde, 1879) ; Homo, De Claudio Gothico (1900) ; Pauly-Wissowa, Realencyclopadie, H. 2458 if. (Henze).
