| Aanvullende informatie |
Tetricus I came to power not through military victory but through the desperate endorsement of the Gallic Empire's aristocracy following Victorinus's assassination in 271 — a murder likely orchestrated by Victorinus's own mother, Victoria. His reign was chaotic from the start, plagued by usurpers and a restless army he struggled to control. SPES PVBLICA — "hope of the state" — was a pointed piece of messaging under those circumstances.
The antoninianus coinage of Tetricus is notoriously variable in silver content, with many issues reduced to little more than a bronze core with a thin silver wash.
