Description This piece was minted during the reign of the usurper Postumus, who ruled the breakaway Gallo-Roman empire between 259 and 268 AD. Postumus was a soldier of great merit, and was appointed commander of the Rhine legions by Valerian. In 259 AD, he rebelled against Gallienus, and ruled Spain, Gaul, and Britain firmly and wisely for nearly a decade. He was not only successful in fighting back the German tribes from the Rhine frontier, but he also repeatedly thwarted the attempts of Gallienus to recover the lost provinces. However, in 268, Laelianus rebelled against Postumus, and although his forces were quickly defeated, the refusal of Postumus to allow his troops to sack Moguntiacum (Mainz), which had supported the rebel, led to his own assassination. The obverse of this type depicts the radiate, draped, and cuirassed bust of Postumus facing right, with legends IMP.C.POSTVMVS.P.F.AVG. The reverse features Providentia standing left, holding globe and transverse sceptre, with legends PROVIDENTIA.AVG. Coin was struck with a worn reverse die, and shows a small reverse flan chip, but otherwise grades a nice GVF/F, with clear to bold devices where struck up, attractive original colour, and a wonderful portrait of Postumus! A pleasing example of the type, catalogued as RSC-39a. All coins guaranteed genuine without limitations. Buyer pays postage/insurance, coin shipped on clearance of funds. PA residents please add appropriate sales tax. PLEASE NOTE: We're sorry, but we are no longer able to accept credit cards.
