Victorinus II.
Victorinus II. ( Marcus Piavonius Victorinus ; † 271 ) was supposedly sub-emperor of the Imperium Galliarum in 270/271 .
According to the (often unreliable) Historia Augusta , Victorinus II was the son of the same name of Victorinus , the third emperor of the Gallic Empire. Accordingly, the young Victorinus was raised by his father (or his mother Victoria ) shortly before his death to Caesar , but a little later also killed by soldiers.
