Quintillus 

Augustus 270 

Quintillus came to power after the death of his brother Claudius II. Although loved by the Senate, Quintillus had no strong ties with the army and when Aurelian claimed that Claudius had meant for him to be the next successor what little loyalty Quintillus had evaporated. With Aurelian 's forces coming nearer, Quintillus had no muscle to contest the usurper and committed suicide before testing Aurelian 's mercy. He had been emperor for only a few weeks. 
 
Well, he might have been emperor for only a few weeks but the mints sure were busy spitting out coins for him the whole while. And while they may not be very common nowadays, they 're not very expensive either. That probably has something to do with the fact that very few survive in top condition. Most will be Antoniniani that have seen better days… most, actually, have seen much better days. 
 
And these low grade Ants can be picked up on the internet for a few dollars each. Nicer ones tend to go for around fifty dollars and rarely go for above $100. But that, again, is because the grades are usually so disappointing. A mint state coin, if there is such a thing, would easily be worth several hundred dollars.
