Gallic emperor killed by a jealous husband.
Compare Victorinus with another historical figure:
Victorinus was proclaimed emperor of the Gallic Empire after the brief reign of Marius. He successfully consolidated power and continued Postumus's policies, maintaining the breakaway state's independence from Rome.
Victorinus campaigned to recover territories that had defected to the central Roman Empire after Postumus's death. He successfully reasserted control over most of Gaul and Britain, restoring the Gallic Empire's territorial integrity.
Victorinus was murdered in Colonia Agrippina by a man whose wife he had seduced. His death was a personal scandal that destabilized the Gallic Empire and led to the proclamation of Tetricus I as his successor.
