Scarcer antoninianus of Quintillus (270 AD), struck at the Rome mint, belonging to issues produced during the short transitional period following the death of Claudius II Gothicus. Ancient sources suggest his reign lasted from a few days to several months, while the volume of surviving coinage rather supports a rule of at least a few months.
