Roman Empire

Claudius Gothicus died

Jan, 270
Sirmium, Pannonia Inferior (Present-Day Sremska Mitrovica, Serbia)

However, he fell victim to the Plague of Cyprian (possibly smallpox) and died early in January 270. Before his death, he is thought to have named Aurelian as his successor, though Claudius' brother Quintillus briefly seized power.
