| Aanvullende informatie |
Tetricus II was elevated to Caesar by his father Tetricus I sometime around 272, ruling as junior emperor of the Gallic breakaway state during its final, increasingly desperate years. The VICTORIA AVG type is notably ironic — issued as Aurelian was systematically dismantling the empire's western separatist zone, the legend proclaiming victory was a piece of propaganda the mint at Cologne had little material reason to believe. The Gallic Empire collapsed in 274 when Tetricus I surrendered, reportedly without a fight, at the Battle of Châlons.
Billon content in these late Gallic issues had degraded substantially from earlier antoninianii, often approaching near-pure copper in practice.
