Шаблон:Short description Faustinus was a 3rd-century CE political figure who launched a rebellion against the Gallic Emperor Tetricus I.Шаблон:Sfnp His full name and his year of birth are unknown.Шаблон:Sfnp According to a small number of literary sources (Aurelius Victor,[1] Eutropius,[2] and Polemius Silvius[3]), Faustinus sparked a mutiny among Tetricus' troops.[3] At the time of his rebellion, Faustinus was a provincial governor (praeses),[1] presumably of Gallia Belgica since the capital of that province—Augusta Treverorum—was where the rebellion began.Шаблон:Sfnp Faustinus' revolt was formidable enough, according to the literary sources, to lead Tetricus to appeal to the central Roman emperor Aurelian for aid against the usurper.[1][2][3][4]

The exact date of his rebellion is uncertain, but scholars generally agree on some time between late 273 CE and the summer of 274 CE.Шаблон:Sfnp Some ancient sources suggest that Faustinus continued his revolt after Tetricus surrendered to Aurelian, who in this scenario would have defeated Faustinus in 274 CE.[5]

Faustinus may have owned property in Britain that was confiscated after the failure of his rebellion.[6]
