Description: NGC AU Roman BI Antoninianus of Postumus AD260-269 Marcus Cassianius Latinius Postumus (fl. 259 – 269) was a Roman commander from Batavia who became emperor of the Gallic Empire, a splinter state in the Roman Empire. After the Roman army in Gaul turned against Gallienus around 260, Postumus assumed imperial powers in Gaul, Germania, Britannia, and Hispania. He ruled for almost a decade before being killed by his own troops. Postumus portrayed himself as the restorer of Gaul and the protector of the provinces on his coins. He also earned the title Germanicus maximus for successfully defending Gaul against the Germans. His main objective was to restore and defend the Rhine frontier, achieving praise from ancient authors for reinstating security in the provinces. Notably, coins issued under Postumus had superior craftsmanship and higher precious metal content compared to those of Gallienus.
