Claudius II (Latin: Marcus Aurelius Valerius Claudius Augustus; May 10 213 – January 270) commonly known as Claudius Gothicus was Roman Emperor from 268 to 270. During his reign he fought successfully against the Alamanni and scored a crushing victory against the Goths at the Battle of Naissus. He died after succumbing to a plague (perhaps smallpox) that ravaged the provinces of the Empire.
