Claudius Gothicus' origins are unknown - born in Illyia, Claudius was a soldier under Gallienus, eventually coming to command his cavalry. While beseigning the usurper Aureolus, Gallienus was assassinated by his officers - it is uncertain as to what extent Claudius himself played a part in the assassination. A tall, strong, man, Claudius commanded the respect of his soldiers and they in turn proclaimed him Emperor, and was accepted by the Senate. |
