Browsing Roman Imperial Coinage of Postumus


Cologne and Lyons issued coins with seemingly identical obverses and reverses. Lyons coins have more (and curlier) hair above the brow and especially at the temples, his smile can be a little more pronounced and his beard has a bit more detail. A good pair to compare are the Moneta coins RIC 75 (Lyons) and RIC 315 (Cologne).
For coins struck by Aureolus in the name of Postumus (the bust has a different "look"), see the Aureolus page.
