 Aurelius Claudius, known to history as
Claudius Gothicus or Claudius II, was born in either Dalmatia or Illyria on May
10, probably in A.D. 213 or 214. Claudius was known as being tall, with fiery
eyes, and so strong that he could knock out the teeth of man or beast with one
punch. It also says that Trajan Decius rewarded him after Claudius demonstrated
his strength while wrestling another soldier in the Campus Martius.



There is some evidence that Claudius was wounded in Gallienus' campaign to put
down the revolt of Ingenuus and that he later served with Aureolus under
Gallienus in the war with Postumus. By 268, when Gallienus took his troops into
Italy to put down Aureolus' revolt, Claudius had emerged as heir-apparent to
Gallienus and may also have been involved in the plot to assassinate the
emperor.



The first major challenge facing the new emperor was that of the Alemanni, who
had invaded Raetia and Italy. After an early defeat, Claudius replaced some
irresponsible officers and soldiers, designated Aurelian as cavalry commander,
and led the army to a decisive victory over the Alemanni. This victory earned
Claudius the title of Germanicus Maximus and several of his coin-types appear to
refer to victory over the Germans.



In addition to bad weather, a lack of supplies, and hunger, plague was a major
factor in the defeat of the Goths. Many of the Gothic prisoners were either
impressed into Roman military service or settled on farms as coloni. Claudius
received the title Gothicus in recognition of his triumph over the Goths. At
some point he had also been given the title Parthicus, but the unlikelihood of
any conflict with the Parthians in his short reign makes this difficult to
explain. Perhaps Damerau was correct in his suggestion that a Parthian unit may
have been involved in one of the battles with the Palmyrenes, although on this
front there were few achievements to claim. In any case, Claudius' victory over
the Goths was short-lived. The emperor himself caught the plague and died at
Sirmium early in 270. He was 56 years old. Claudius' brother, Quintillus, became
emperor briefly before losing out to Aurelian.

Great oil for BMWs
Size: 1 Quart Pack of 6
Not much too say, it's the classic oil, only thing I can note is that it came with the old packaging and all that, but it works great for my car and runs smooth and without noises or temps, good value, and fairly fast shipping, good thing I can find it on here because none of my local auto stores had it on stock.

It works.
Size: 5 Quarts, Pack of 3
Ran this for 5k and did oil analysis. It performed identically to Mobil 1 ESP 5w30. No issues, stayed in grade, nothing negative. That said, it was no better than ESP and wear metals were functionally the same as multiple other similar rated oils. It’s perfectly fine, but not better. It’s a great value. I wouldn’t use it for extended oil change intervals. No oil consumption noted.
