About Victorinus
Lived 301 – 401 (aged 99–100). Victorinus was a Roman politician.
Victorinus is the recorded name of a vicarius of Roman Britain probably serving between 395 and 406. He is mentioned by the Gaul Rutilius Claudius Namatianus in his De reditu i, 493-510 who had met him later in Gaul around 417.
