    Illness led Plotinus to leave Rome for a Campanian estate formerly belonging to his friend Zethos. He died there at the end of the second regnal year of Claudius II. The precise estate site is not securely identified; coordinates represent Minturnae/Minturno, the nearby settlement named in Porphyry's account.
