Victorinus, Divus. Antoninianus; Victorinus, Divus; Died 270 AD, Antoninianus, 2.31g. Cunetio Hoard-2633 (3 spec.), RIC-83, C-23 var. (15 Fr.). Obv: DIVO VICTOR[INO PI]O Head radiate r. Rx: CON[SAC]RATIO Eagle standing r. on globe, head l., wreath in beak. From the Philip Ashton Collection, ex Berk 119, 15 March 2001, lot 449. Coins of Divus Victorinus are rare: indeed ten times as rare as coins of Laelian to judge the Cunetio hoard, which contained 39 Laelians but only four Divus Victorinuses! It is not surprising that Tetricus I deified Victorinus and struck coins for him, since Tetricus I's accession is said to have been arranged by Victorinus' mother Victorina.As we say in our description, consecration antoniniani of this emperor are quite rare and this coin is in better quality than most of the few that do turn up.
