NGC ( AU ) BI Double Denarius of Victorinus AD269 - 271 ROMANO-GALLIC EMPIRE The Gallic Empire, born during Emperor Gallienus's rule, covered Britannia, Hispania, and Gaul. Marcus Piavonius Victorinus, emperor in the Gallic provinces from 269 to 271, succeeded Marius. Victorinus, a Gaul native and former soldier under Postumus, swiftly rose in rank, becoming co-consul in 268. After Postumus's murder in 269, Victorinus seized power in Augusta Treverorum. His main focus was preventing western provinces from submitting to the Roman Empire. Only Gaul, Germania, and Britain recognized him initially; Hispania pledged allegiance to Claudius Gothicus. Victorinus met his demise when a jealous husband, offended by the emperor's advances, murdered him.Grade: ( AU ) Almost Uncirculated - Certified, Graded and Encapsulated by NGC You Will Receive the Same Type of Coin and Condition Shown , Certificate Number Will Vary As Stock Photos Are Used Free USPS Ground Advantage with Tracking and Insurance!
