Answer
Indeed, Tacitus, also referred to as Gaius Aurelius Valerius Claudius, earned the distinct titles "Claudius II" and "Gothicus." The name "Claudius II" served as an honorary title and was commonly adopted by subsequent emperors. "Gothicus," on the other hand, was a victory title bestowed upon Claudius for his military success and triumph against the Goths. These additional names signify Claudius's military prowess and notable achievements during his reign.
