Victorinus

[1] He showed considerable ability, as he held the title of tribunus praetorianorum (tribune of the praetorians) in 266/267,[1][2] and rose swiftly to become co-consul with Postumus in 268.

[5] Shortly after putting down a rebellion by Laelianus in 269, Postumus was murdered by his own troops, who appointed Marius as emperor in his place.

[5] After engineering the death of Marius, Victorinus was declared emperor by the troops located at Augusta Treverorum (Trier) in the fall of 269.

[5][2] Claudius then sent his trusted general Placidianus to south-east Gaul with instructions to bring over as many of the wavering cities as he could.

The Historia Augusta also says that both father and son were buried near Colonia Claudia Ara Agrippinensium in marble tombs.
