Commentary
Ce type, frappé à Trèves avec le buste drapé, pose un gros problème de classement avec le Schulzki. En effet, la planche accompagnant le numéro 22a (seul type avec Victoria pour Trèves) n’est pas celui décrit dans le texte... Cependant, c’est bien le plus courant des deux types, qui reste tout de même rare. L’autre type semble rarissime malgré le classement en C2 dans le même ouvrage.

Indeed, the plate accompanying number 22a (the only type with Victoria for Trier) is not the one described in the text... However, it is indeed the most common of the two types, which remains nonetheless rare. The other type seems extremely rare despite the classification in C2 in the same work

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..
