malamute67 Valued Member Spain 319 Posts	Posted 11/02/2012 09:18 am Brother of Claudius II.Emperor 270 AD Marcus Aurelius Claudius Quintillus was the younger brother of the famous Claudius II Gothicus. Following the death of his brother due to the plague, Quintillus was proclaimed Emperor by his troops at Aquileia. After only a breif period of undisputed power, he was challenged by the ambitious general Aurelian who had been proclaimed Emperor by the legions at Sirmium. Faced by overwhelming odds and the military experience of Aurelian, Quintillus' troops deserted him following which he then committed suicide.(17 DAYS ?) RIC 9 H right Quintillus AE Antoninianus.

stevex6 Pillar of the Community 3352 Posts	Posted 11/02/2012 11:50 am Nice eye-appealing tone to that coin ... For the record, the two "Rarity Tables" show Quintillus rated at #91 and #67 (for an average Rarity Rating = "79") Report this Post to the Staff
echizento Moderator United States 23731 Posts	Posted 11/02/2012 1:19 pm For as short a reign as he had, I'm surprised his coins are considered rare. I've only been able to find three since I started collecting over ten years ago. Nice coin. Report this Post to the Staff
