Faustinus was a 3rd-century CE political figure who launched a rebellion against the Gallic Emperor Tetricus I.
[1] According to a small number of literary sources (Aurelius Victor,[2] Eutropius,[3] and Polemius Silvius[4]), Faustinus sparked a mutiny among Tetricus' troops.
[1] Faustinus' revolt was formidable enough, according to the literary sources, to lead Tetricus to appeal to the central Roman emperor Aurelian for aid against the usurper.
[1] Some ancient sources suggest that Faustinus continued his revolt after Tetricus surrendered to Aurelian, who in this scenario would have defeated Faustinus in 274 CE.
[6] Faustinus may have owned property in Britain that was confiscated after the failure of his rebellion.
