Historical background


POSTUMIA

(96 BC)

Aulus Postumius Albinus belongs to the monetary college formed by Lucius Cæcilius Metellus, Caius Poblicius Malleolus and himself. He is perhaps the son of Spurius Postumius Albinus who was consul in 110 BC. Of praetorian rank, he joined the party of the Marianists (supporters of Marius) and died at the battle of Porte Colline in 82 before J. - C. by fighting against Sylla. In 96 BC, Cnæus Domitius Ahenobarbus and Caius Cassius Longinus were consuls. Sylla becomes praetor. In Asia, he imposed as King of Cappadocia Ariobarzanes I Philoromaios (96-63 BC).
