| Aanvullende informatie |
Tetricus I came to power not through military victory but by appointment — elevated by the armies of Gaul in 271 after the assassination of Victorinus, whose mother Victoria reportedly engineered the succession. His reign was already precarious from the start, and by 274 he had surrendered to Aurelian at the Battle of Châlons without meaningful resistance, effectively dissolving the Gallic Empire he'd inherited. An aureus bearing his name is consequently rare by any Roman imperial measure; gold issues from this breakaway state were struck in limited quantities, and the administrative machinery supporting them was always fragile.
Schulte 21a distinguishes this obverse pairing within a small die corpus for the type.
