Imperator Caesar Marcus Aurelius Marius Augustus Marcus Aurelius Marius[1] was emperor of the Gallic Empire in 269 following the assassination of Postumus. His first decision was in all likelihood to allow his troops to sack the city of Moguntiacum.[6] Seeking to solidify his power base, he then moved to Augusta Treverorum (Trier).[7] His reign lasted no more than two or three months before Postumus' praetorian prefect Victorinus had Marius killed in the middle of 269, most likely at Augusta Treverorum.[8] It is said that he was chosen because his names were evocative of two great Romans of the Past, Marcus Aurelius and Gaius Marius.[7] Southern, Pat.
