Claudius II issued after his death by Quintillus and later emperors.
History: Late in 269 Claudius was preparing to go to war against the german Vandals tribe, who were raiding in Pannonia. Next year the pannonian legions led by Claudius defeated the Vandals, but the Emperor fell victim to an epidemic of plague and died in Sirmium early in August of 270. The Senate immediately deified Claudius as "Divus Claudius Gothicus", making him one of the few Roman emperors of the period to be so honored.berserker

Having defeated the Quadi and Sarmatians on the Danube, Carus proceeded through Thrace and Asia Minor, annexed Mesopotamia, pressed on to Seleucia and Ctesiphon, and carried his arms beyond the Tigris. His death was variously attributed to disease, the effects of lightning, or a wound received in a campaign against the Persians. The facts that he was leading a victorious campaign, and that his son Numerian succeeded him without opposition, suggest that his death may have been due to natural causes.berserker

There are a number of coins that refer to Salus in the legend, meaning health or welfare as usual, but do not have an image of the goddess and use a different type entirely. On the far right is an antoninianus of Postumus from 260 CE that shows the reclining figure of a river-god, in this case representing The Rhine, with the outline of a Rhine river-boat to one side. Command of the Rhine was critical to the welfare of Postumus' breakaway Gaulish version of the Roman empire, and the legend, SALVS PROVINCIARVM, reflects that. Postumus was making clear that he had safeguarded the border of his empire along the Rhine. As usual with this issue, the coin is with a weak reverseberserker
