    Another lovely video. I am glad my notes were helpful. I must agree that, although somewhat competent, it is difficult to really credit Claudius II with much more as an emperor. It is also noteworthy that Claudius II promoted his lineage as being descended from Gordian III. Aurelian would likewise try and connect himself to Valerian and Trajan so it is unsurprising that Constantine I would do the same thing. Good luck to John, farewell Alexander.
