Victorine or Victoria would have been the mother of Victorinus, Empereur of Gaules, although its existence is not attested in a sure way. It appears among the Thirty Tyrants mentioned by the Histoire Auguste, but more to undoubtedly make number and to show at which point Gallien was a weak and hateful emperor, so much so that some Roman women could, according to the writer, to reach the Empire.

Victorine would have bought the honesty of the rebellious legions so that they accept Marius, Victorinus and Tetricus with the head of the Empire of Gaules. Apart from the History Auguste, only Aurelius Victor makes mention of it. The writer of the Histoire Auguste affirms that it would have emitted currencies and would have been proclaimed " mother of the camps" following the example empress. However, we have neither currency nor inscription of Victorine, as Jean Lafaurie it put forth the assumption as one and the other author was mistaken because of reverse of currencies of the Gallic emperors celebrating the " Victoria Augusti" or the " Victoria Augusta".
