| 5 | Hailing from [[Gaul]], Victorinus was born into a [[Gauls|Gallic]] family of great wealth,[^4][^3] and was a soldier under [[Postumus]], the first of the so-called Gallic emperors.[^2] He showed considerable ability, as he held the title of *tribunus praetorianorum* (tribune of the praetorians) in 266/267,[^2][^3] and rose swiftly to become co-[[Consul (Gallic Empire)|consul]] with Postumus in 268.[^5] It is also possible that Postumus then elevated him to the post of [[Praetorian prefect|praetorian prefect]].[^6] Shortly after putting down a rebellion by [[Laelianus]] in 269, Postumus was murdered by his own troops, who appointed Marius as emperor in his place.[^6] | |

| 7 | After engineering the death of Marius, Victorinus was declared emperor by the troops located at [[Augusta Treverorum]] ([[Trier]]) in the fall of 269.[^6] His principal concern was to prevent the western provinces from submitting to the central authority of the [[Roman Empire]], a fact made clear to him from the first few weeks when only the provinces of [[Roman Gaul|Gaul]], [[Germania]] and [[Roman Britain|Britain]] recognised him. [[Hispania]] deserted the Gallic Empire and declared its loyalty to [[Claudius Gothicus]].[^6][^3] Claudius then sent his trusted general [[Placidianus]] to south-east Gaul with instructions to bring over as many of the wavering cities as he could.[^5] Very quickly Placidianus captured [[Cularo]] ([[Grenoble]]), but did not proceed any further.[^6] | |
| 8 | ||
| 9 | The presence of Placidianus inspired the city of [[Augustodunum Haeduorum]] ([[Autun]]) to abandon Victorinus and declare its intention to declare for [[Claudius Gothicus]].[^5][^6] This forced Victorinus to march south and besiege it, where it fell after seven months, after which Victorinus’ troops plundered and destroyed the city.[^5][^3] Victorinus returned to [[Colonia Claudia Ara Agrippinensium]] ([[Cologne]]) in triumph.[^3] It remains a mystery just why Claudius did not authorise Placidianus to go to the relief of Augustodunum; however, it is speculated that Claudius, who was fully engaged either in Italy against the [[Alamanni]] or in the [[Balkans]] against the [[Goths]], did not wish to open a second theatre of operations in Gaul, which would not only have involved a major military effort, but would also have required Claudius to assume responsibility for the defense of the [[Limes Germanicus|Rhine frontier]] had he been successful.[^7] There is evidence to suggest that Claudius was having some difficulties in the East, which also occupied his attention.[^6] | |

| 11 | Victorinus was murdered at Colonia[^2] in early 271[^8] by Attitianus, one of his officers, whose wife Victorinus had supposedly seduced.[^9] Since the motive was personal and not political,[^3][^9] Victorinus' mother, [[Victoria (Gallic Empire)|Victoria]] (or Vitruvia), was able to continue to hold power after the death of Victorinus and she arranged for his deification and, after considerable payment to the troops, the appointment of [[Tetricus I]] as his successor.[^9][^3] Another military commander appears to have been proclaimed as the emperor [[Domitianus II]], but was soon eliminated.[^10] | |

| 13 | Victorinus is listed among the [[Thirty Tyrants (Roman)|Thirty Tyrants]] in the *[[Historia Augusta]]*. The dubious *Historia Augusta* equally has a short description of [[Victorinus Junior]], allegedly the son of Victorinus, who was appointed emperor by his family the day his father was murdered, and would have been killed immediately afterwards by the troops. The *Historia Augusta* also says that both father and son were buried near Colonia Claudia Ara Agrippinensium in marble tombs.[^11] | |
