Antoninianus - Victorinus SALVS AVG

Victorinus ruled the breakaway Gallic Empire for roughly two years before being murdered by one of his own officers — allegedly over an affair with the man's wife. His reign was militarily competent but administratively unstable, and the SALVS AVG coinage belonged to a broader Imperial repertoire of reverse types deployed to project legitimacy that the Gallic secession was still struggling to establish. The antoninianus itself was by this period a debased shadow of Caracalla's original bimetallic concept, struck in bronze with a thin silver wash.
