Commentary


Ce portrait de type 2, rattachant la monnaie à la seconde phase de la première émission, semble beaucoup moins courant que pour la phase suivante. Dans le trésor de Cunetio, le rapport de rareté est d’environ une monnaie de ce type contre cinq pour la phase suivante (portraits de types 3 et 4, EG. 15).

Historical background


POSTUMUS

(06-07/260-06/269)

Postume seizes the purple by eliminating Salonin, son of Gallien, of whom he had custody. He reigns over Gaul, Brittany and Spain. Did Postume toy with the idea of conquering the Roman Empire? Gallien, twice, will try to reconquer the "pars occidentalis" of the Empire, without success. Postume will remain in power for nine years, before perishing assassinated for having refused the sack of Mainz, a city which supported Lélien.
