RIC 272

TETRICUS II, Caesar 273-274 A.D. -- Caius Pius 
Esuvius Tetricus was the son of the Governor of Aquitaine, 
in the breakaway Gallo-Roman Empire (Gaul, Spain, and Britain)
 established by Postumus. After Victorinus, the successor to 
Postumus, was murdered, Tetricus' father was acclaimed Tetricus I, 
Augustus. His father later elevated the young Caius to Caesar, but 
their reign was cut short, peacefully, when Tetricus deserted his 
own troops to surrender to Aurelian. In gratitude, Aurelian later 
restored Tetricus I as a Senator, and even installed him as 
Governor of Lucania, and Tetricus II returned to normal life, as a 
private citizen.
