Being Governor of Aqutania at the time when the Usurper Marius died, Tetricus was induced by the persuasions of that extraordinary heroine Victoria (mother of Victorinus senor), to accept the title of Emperor from the Legionaries in Gaul AD 268.
Tetricus died in retirement at a very advanced age, in what year is not known, and, as his coins of consecrations show, he was replaced in rank of divinities—"a remarkable circumstance," observes beauvais, "in the instance of a man who for many years before had renounced the title and scepter of supreme power."
