Victorinus BI Antoninianus. Treveri, AD 269. IMP C M PIAVVONIVS VICTORINVS P F AVG, radiate, draped and cuirassed bust to right / PAX AVG, Pax standing to left, holding olive branch and sceptre. RIC V.2 116 (Colonia Agrippinensis); Mairat, 2014 (unpublished PHD Thesis) 558. 2.59g, 19mm, 7h.

Good Very Fine.

This extremely rare coin, displaying the full, long form of Victorinus' name, is from the very first issue of his coinage at Treveri, struck immediately upon his acclamation as Emperor after the death of Marius in AD 269. The paucity of extant examples of the type suggests that the issue was very brief, perhaps lasting only a month, after which point the obverse legend was abbreviated.

Ex Harlan J. Berk, Ltd., Buy or Bid Sale 205, 18 September 2018, lot 262 (hammer: USD 2,350);
Previously purchased from Harlan Berk, August 1999.

One of the more serious of the 'Thirty Tyrants' described by Roman historians in the Historia Augusta, the revolt of Marcus Aurelius Julianus of Pannonia against Carinus in 284 caused the emperor to march from Britain and lead his army against the rebels near Verona, or perhaps in Illyricum (the sources are unclear), crushing them in early 285. Issued from the mint at Siscia, the coins of Julian of Pannonia are in the same good style that this mint had previously issued in the service of legitimate emperors.
