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 a galley traveling left, with four rowers and a pilot, with legends LAETITIA around, and AVG in the exergue. Coin grades a Good F, with clear devices, readable legends, and original old colour. A nice example of this scarce and popular type, catalogued as RSC-167a. All coins guaranteed genuine without limitations. Buyer pays postage/insurance, coin shipped on clearance of funds. PA residents please add appropriate sales tax.
