马库斯-奥雷利乌斯-昆提勒斯是克劳迪乌斯二世-哥提斯的弟弟。

当克劳狄乌斯二世在巴尔干地区对哥特人发动战役时,他被留在意大利北部指挥部队,以防止阿勒曼尼人越过阿尔卑斯山的入侵。

因此,在皇帝去世时,他被安置在阿奎利亚。 他哥哥去世的消息刚一传来,他的军队就欢呼他为皇帝。 不久,元老院就确认了他的这个职位。

军队和元老院似乎都不愿意任命更明显的候选人奥勒良,他被认为是一个严格的纪律者。

关于克劳狄乌斯二世打算让谁做他的继承人,存在着相互矛盾的观点。 一方面,有人认为克劳狄乌斯二世选择的奥勒良是皇帝的合法继承人。 另一方面,据说已故皇帝宣布昆提洛,与他自己不同,他有两个儿子,应该是他的继承人。

昆提勒斯的第一个国家行为是请求元老院将他已故的兄弟神化。 这个请求被一个真诚的哀悼大会立即批准。

但在一个致命的错误中,金提勒斯在阿奎利亚停留了一段时间,没有立即前往首都巩固他的权力并在元老院和人民中获得重要的支持。

在他有机会对帝国做出进一步的贡献之前,哥特人又在巴尔干地区制造麻烦,围攻城市。 多瑙河下游令人生畏的指挥官奥勒良果断地进行了干预。 当他回到位于锡尔米乌姆的基地时,他的军队欢呼他成为皇帝。 奥勒良声称克劳狄乌斯二世-哥特人有意让他成为下一个皇帝,这是否真实不得而知。

昆提勒斯为争夺奥勒良的王位而进行的绝望尝试只持续了几天。 到最后,他完全被他的士兵抛弃,割腕自杀(公元270年9月)。

无能的昆提洛统治的确切时间不详。 尽管不同的说法表明,它持续了两三个月,只有17天。
