 Aurelius Claudius, known to history as
Claudius Gothicus or Claudius II, was born in either Dalmatia or Illyria on May
10, probably in A.D. 213 or 214. Claudius was known as being tall, with fiery
eyes, and so strong that he could knock out the teeth of man or beast with one
punch. It also says that Trajan Decius rewarded him after Claudius demonstrated
his strength while wrestling another soldier in the Campus Martius.



There is some evidence that Claudius was wounded in Gallienus' campaign to put
down the revolt of Ingenuus and that he later served with Aureolus under
Gallienus in the war with Postumus. By 268, when Gallienus took his troops into
Italy to put down Aureolus' revolt, Claudius had emerged as heir-apparent to
Gallienus and may also have been involved in the plot to assassinate the
emperor.



The first major challenge facing the new emperor was that of the Alemanni, who
had invaded Raetia and Italy. After an early defeat, Claudius replaced some
irresponsible officers and soldiers, designated Aurelian as cavalry commander,
and led the army to a decisive victory over the Alemanni. This victory earned
Claudius the title of Germanicus Maximus and several of his coin-types appear to
refer to victory over the Germans.



In addition to bad weather, a lack of supplies, and hunger, plague was a major
factor in the defeat of the Goths. Many of the Gothic prisoners were either
impressed into Roman military service or settled on farms as coloni. Claudius
received the title Gothicus in recognition of his triumph over the Goths. At
some point he had also been given the title Parthicus, but the unlikelihood of
any conflict with the Parthians in his short reign makes this difficult to
explain. Perhaps Damerau was correct in his suggestion that a Parthian unit may
have been involved in one of the battles with the Palmyrenes, although on this
front there were few achievements to claim. In any case, Claudius' victory over
the Goths was short-lived. The emperor himself caught the plague and died at
Sirmium early in 270. He was 56 years old. Claudius' brother, Quintillus, became
emperor briefly before losing out to Aurelian.

Comfortable, sturdy, waterproof
Size: 9.5, Color: Black/Black
Loce, love, love these boots. Have walked ten miles with no foot pain around NYC. They go with everything and and are so comfortable. As they are waterproof/resistant, they get a little warm in high temps, but perfect three-season boots.

Super cute, comfortable, practical, love that they are slip on
Size: 10.5, Color: Tobacco/Black
I have worn these 2-3 times already. The first day was a school/work day so I was on my feet 9 hours and the only issue I had was with the side of the boot rubbing against my ankle. I just make sure I wear socks high enough to cover my ankles or jeans that go into the boots now for long wear days. Absolutely love them! They keep my feet dry in this snow( we live in Michigan). I had been looking for a pair like this for awhile now and was getting super frustrated that I couldn't find my size in any that I liked. I saw that they had these available in a 10.5 and I wear 11. I looked at the Sorel website reviews (since the amazon ones weren't super helpful on sizing) and they said that the boots ran big so I took a chance on the 10.5 fitting me. They fit perfect. I have long narrow feet but I could see where they would be tight or uncomfortable on someone with wider feet. I've been trying to find a pair for my mom now since she has boot envy.

Fantastic Boots!
Size: 8.5, Color: Redwood/Gum 10
Completely satisfied with these boots. True to size, well made, comfortable from the get-go; not break in needed. Waterproof- really. The Red Suede has withstood a nasty winter season & still looks great. Good traction. I like the ankle height which looks good with long, mid length pants & leggings. I love the easy slip on/off aspect..made getting ready for dog walking easy. I 100%recommend!

Definitely worth the price
Size: 6.5, Color: Black/Black
Absolutely love these boots! I originally bought them to wear in NYC in December & they did not disappoint. They were comfortable, cute, durable and worked well in the slush/snow. The traction on the bottom is also nice! They kept me warm with wool socks. I wear them almost daily now. Perfect for everyday. easy to wear with variety of outfits. Good every day shoe.
