Commentary
Cet exemplaire, qui peut sembler anodin au premier regard, est en fait infiniment plus rare que ce qu’il n’y parait ! Absent du trésor de Cunetio, du classement d’Elmer ou encore du Cohen, c’est la première fois que nous le proposons à la vente !
Malgré le classement en”S” (peu courant) par Schulzki, ce type à la titulature courte est l’un des plus rares du règne de Victorin !.
This example, which may seem innocuous at first glance, is in fact infinitely rarer than it appears! Absent from the Cunetio treasure, the Elmer classification or even the Cohen, this is the first time that we are offering it for sale! Despite the classification in “S” (uncommon) by Schulzki, this type with the short title is one of the rarest from the reign of Victorinus!

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..
