M. Aurelius Claudius, born into a humble and obscure family, rose to prominence through his military prowess, serving under the emperors Gallienus and Valerian. He ascended to the throne in 268 AD, following the death of Gallienus. In the following year, Claudius achieved a significant victory over a massive Gothic army in Dardania, earning him the honorary title "Gothicus." His reign was cut short when he died in 270 AD at Sirmium.
