One layer says that Quintillus began his reign in April 270, while the other layer says he died in April 270. If one of the sources has an error in it, then such error should be fixed. You can always fix errors on Wikipedia. However, if we genuinely don’t know when Quintillus died and the sources simply cite two different versions which come from two different books, and one version is not better then the other, then it’s OK to just show the conflicting versions of history on the Timeline.

The fact that we can visualise the conflict of versions of history on the Timeline is actually a good thing.
