mint. IMP C LAELIANVS P F AVG, radiate and cuirassed
bust right / VICTO-R-IA AV-G, Victory running right,     [Image]
holding wreath and long palm-branch. RIC V pt. 2, 9
var.; Cohen 4. VF. Estimate $500.

History: Although extremely popular and enjoying outstanding success in
defending and restoring the Rhine frontier from Frankish and Alemannic
incursions, by 268 Postumus' popularity had waned, and the governor of Upper
Germany, Laelianus, revolted. Laelianus' support seems to have rapidly withered
however, and within just a few months, Postumus had defeated the usurper.
Postumus' own downfall followed shortly thereafter when he was murdered by his
soldiers for refusing to allow them to pillage the city of Moguntiacum (Mainz),
the headquarters of Laelianus.
