Marcus Aurelius Claudius Quintillus (died 270) was a short-lived Roman emperor. He was a brother of Emperor Claudius Gothicus, whom he succeeded after Claudius’ death in 270. Quintillus’ claim to be emperor was challenged by Aurelian, who was proclaimed emperor by the legions he commanded. Quintillus’ reign only lasted a few weeks. Different sources report his cause of death as murder by his own soldiers, in battle with Aurelian, or by suicide.
