Commentary


Avec son argenture superficielle, métal de bon aloi. Rubans de type 3. Les Ptéryges sont invisibles sous le paludamentum. Ce type est en fait beaucoup plus rare que ne le laissent supposer les ouvrages généraux. Fronton orné de trois globules. Exemplaire rare en l’état !.

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.
