Born May 10, perhaps in 214, in one of the Danubian provinces (the Historia Augusta claims Dalmatia or Dardania), Claudius II ( PLRE I 209; PIR 2 A 1626; RE 82) was Roman emperor from (September?) 268 until his death in (August?) 270, and most noteworthy for virtually concluding the campaign against the invading Goths, thereby removing for many decades any serious threat they posed to Roman security.
