Commentary


Poids très lourd. Avec l’intégralité de son argenture superficielle. Ce type semble beaucoup plus rare que ne le laisse supposer les ouvrages généraux. Le portrait est intermédiaire. Ce n’est plus celui de Marius, mais les traits ne ressemblent pas encore à Victorin.
Very heavy weight. With all of its surface silvering. This type seems much rarer than general works suggest. The portrait is intermediate. It is no longer that of Marius, but the features do not yet resemble Victorin.

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..
