Commentary


Poids très lourd. Avec l’intégralité de son argenture superficielle. Rubans de type 3. Ptéryges invisibles sous le paludamentum. C’est peut-être l’antoninien l’un des plus courants du règne de Victorin avec 811 antoniniens dans le trésor de Cunetio, mais reste exceptionnel dans cet état de conservation.
Very heavy weight. With all its surface silvering. Type 3 ribbons. Pteryges invisible under the paludamentum. This is perhaps one of the most common antoninianus of the reign of Victorinus, with 811 antoninianus in the Cunetio treasure, but remains exceptional in this state of preservation.

Historical background


VICTORINUS

(10-11/269-09/271)

Victorin spent his entire career under the reign of Postumus, of whom he was one of the main civil collaborators. He succeeds Marius, who died just after Postumus. Victorin definitively loses Spain at the beginning of the reign and has to face seditions in Brittany and Gaul. The siege of Autun, a university town in Gaul, lasted seven months. Shortly after, Victorin was assassinated in Cologne by one of his officers, a jealous husband, when he had just restored order in Gaul with the capture of Autun. His mother, Victorine, continues to play an important role in choosing the successor of her son, Tétricus..
