Jovinus was a Gallo-Roman noble who, with the support of Burgundians, Alamanni, and Franks, usurped power in Gaul during the autumn of 411. Virtually nothing is known of Jovinus' short reign, although it is apparent that he enjoyed substantial support as he controlled the three mints of Lugdunum, Treveri, and Arelate. In 412, he proclaimed his brother Sebastian co-emperor, but before the end of the following year, they were both dead as a result of the treachery of the Goth Asthulfus (Triton VI, 2003, 1133 note).
