Victorinus had a religious conversion, from being a pagan to a Christian ( c. 355 ) " at an advanced old age ".

On 7 May 1557 he was appointed professor of New Testament theology at Jena but was soon involved in controversy with his colleague Victorinus Strigel on the synergistic question ( relating to the function of the will in conversion ).

Victorinus ' conversion, even though criticized by some scholars ( e. g. Ernst Benz, and repeated by other ) as purely intellectualist, was undoubtedly sincere, as events connected with the revival of paganism initiated by the last pagan emperor, Julian the Philosopher ( dubbed " Julian the Apostate " by Christians ) came to show.

Both Victorinus and Tetricus I, important members of the government, hailed from this region.

In April 1462 the latter restored the holy crown for 60, 000 ducats and was allowed to retain certain Hungarian counties with the title of king ; in return for which concessions, extorted from Matthias by the necessity of coping with a simultaneous rebellion of the Magyar noble in league with Poděbrady's son Victorinus, the emperor recognized Matthias as the actual sovereign of Hungary.

Marcus Piavonius Victorinus was emperor of the secessionist Gallic Empire from 269 to 271, following the brief reign of Marius.

Hailing from Gaul, Victorinus was born to a family of great wealth, and was a soldier under Postumus, the first of the so-called Gallic emperors.

Gaius Pius Esuvius Tetricus was Emperor of the Gallic Empire ( Imperium Galliarum ) from 271 to 274, following the murder of Victorinus.

Moving from Burdigala, he was on his way to Augusta Treverorum when Tetricus was forced to repel Germanic tribes that took advantage of the confusion following the death of Victorinus to invade Gaul.

A record from 1907 described the relics as Samian ware pieces ; bronze coins of Maximinus, Victorinus, and Constantius Chlorus ; as well as roofing materials.

Victorinus ' manual of prosody, in four books, taken almost literally from the work of Aelius Aphthonius, is extant.

St. Augustine was heavily influenced by Platonism as well, which he encountered through the Latin translations of Marius Victorinus of the works of Porphyry and / or Plotinus.

But before this he had already devoted to the Revelation another treatment, a rather arbitrary recasting of the commentary of Saint Victorinus, with whose chiliastic views he was not in accord, substituting for the chiliastic conclusion a spiritualizing exposition of his own, supplying an introduction, and making certain changes in the text.

:* Victorinus had this to say of them " Some had doubts about the baptism of those who appeared to recognize the same Father with the Son with us, yet who received the new prophets.

* Victorinus, Emperor of the Gallic Empire, is assassinated by Attitianus, reportedly for reasons of personal revenge.

* Aureolus, charged with defending Italy, defeats Victorinus ( co-emperor of Gaul ), is proclaimed emperor by his troops, and begins his march on Rome.

* Victorinus is declared emperor of the Gallic Empire by the legions at Augusta Treverorum ( Trier ), following the murders of his predecessors.

The general of Gallienus ' army, Victorinus, defects to Postumus.

At the outset of his reign, Commodus, age 18, inherited many of his father's senior advisers, notably Tiberius Claudius Pompeianus ( the second husband of Commodus's sister Lucilla ), his father-in-law Gaius Bruttius Praesens, Titus Fundanius Vitrasius Pollio, and Aufidius Victorinus, who was Prefect of the City of Rome.

Commodus was inaugurated in 183 as consul with Aufidius Victorinus for a colleague and assumed the title Pius.

The fall of Perennis brought a new spate of executions: Aufidius Victorinus committed suicide.

Marius ' rule did not last long though, as Victorinus, Postumus ' praetorian prefect, defeated him.

Now being emperor of the Gauls, Victorinus was soon to be in a precarious position, for the Spanish provinces had deserted the Gallic Empire and declared their loyalty to Claudius, while in southern France, Placidianus had captured Grenoble.

Luckily, it was in Grenoble that Placidianus stopped and Victorinus ' position stabilized.

As a result, the city went through a siege, lasting many weeks, until it was finally captured and sacked by Victorinus.

" Victorinus of Pettau states that they ate things offered to idols.

In his treatise on orthography, the 4th-century philosopher Marius Victorinus regarded the spellings novensiles and novensides as a simple phonetic alteration of l and d, characteristic of the Sabine language.

Furius Victorinus, one of the two praetorian prefects, was sent with Lucius, as were a pair of senators, M. Pontius Laelianus Larcius Sabinus and M. Iallius Bassus, and part of the praetorian guard.

Victorinus had previously served as procurator of Galatia, giving him some experience with eastern affairs.

Since a prefect had to accompany the guard, Victorinus was the clear choice.

Subsequently Victorinus came to power, being recognized as Emperor in northern Gaul and Britannia, but not in Hispania.

Victorinus spent most of his reign dealing with insurgencies and attempting to recover the Gaulish territories taken by Claudius Gothicus.

Tetricus fought off Germanic barbarians who had begun ravaging Gaul after the death of Victorinus, and was able to re-take Gallia Aquitania and western Gallia Narbonensis while Roman Emperor Aurelian was engaging Queen Zenobia's Palmyrene Empire in the east.

In the turmoil following the defeat of Valerian, the XIIII Gemina supported usurper Regalianus against Emperor Gallienus ( 260 ), then Gallienus against Postumus of the Gallic empire ( earning the title VI Pia VI Fidelis —" six times faithful, six times loyal "), and, after Gallienus ' death, Gallic Emperor Victorinus ( 269 – 271 ).

It is not clear if she created it or if it was already part of the Aeolic tradition ; according to Marius Victorinus ( Ars grammatica 6. 161 Keil ), it was invented by Alcaeus but then used more frequently by, and so more strongly associated with, Sappho.

The next most frequent are those of Claudius II ( 270 ), especially the posthumous issue with the altar reverse, and Victorinus ( 268-270 ).

Since the motive was personal and not political, Victorinus ' mother, Victoria ( or Vitruvia ), was able to continue to hold power after the death of Victorinus and she arranged for his deification and, after considerable payment to the troops, the appointment of Tetricus I as his successor.

Victorinus ' mother, Victoria, located at Colonia Claudia Ara Agrippinensium, managed to keep control of the political situation after her son ’ s death ; through her influence ( and a large amount of money ), she bribed the army to declare the absent Tetricus emperor.

Some scholars including Richardson and Czapla consider that chapters xxx ( Bishop John II of Jerusalem ), lxxxvii ( Victorinus ), xciii ( Caerealis of Africa ), and all the end portion ( xcv-ci ), are not authentic.

Victorinus, at some unknown point, left Africa for Rome ( hence some modern scholars have dubbed him Afer ), probably for a position teaching, and had great success in his career, eventually being promoted to the lowest level of the senatorial order.

Victorinus noted, " Since God is the cause of being, it can be said in a certain sense, that God truly is ( vere ων ), but this expression merely means that being is in God as an effect is in an eminent cause, which contains it though being superior to it.
