Years: 268 - 279
Augusta Treverorum, as the chief city of the province of Gallia Belgica, rises in importance from 271 to 274 during the Empire's major third-century crisis.
Trier is the second city of the breakaway Gallic Empire, at first under Postumus, who was proclaimed in Cologne, then under his ephemeral successor, Victorinus, who made his base at Trier, where he had rebuilt a large house with a mosaic proclaiming his position as tribune in Postumus' Gallic Praetorian Guard; the city serves again as capital under the emperors Tetricus I and II.
