Commentary
Poids très lourd. Avec son argenture superficielle. Rubans de type 3. Les ptéryges sont invisibles sous le paludamentum. Ce type est en fait beaucoup plus rare que ne le laissent supposer les ouvrages généraux. Fronton orné de trois globules. Un globule sous le D de DEVS.
Very heavy weight. With its surface silver plating. Type 3 ribbons. The pteryges are invisible under the paludamentum. This type is actually much rarer than general works suggest. Pediment decorated with three globules. One globule under the D of DEVS

Historical background
POSTUMUS
(06-07/260-06/269)
Postume seizes the purple by eliminating Salonin, son of Gallien, of whom he had custody. He reigns over Gaul, Brittany and Spain. Did Postume toy with the idea of conquering the Roman Empire? Gallien, twice, will try to reconquer the "pars occidentalis" of the Empire, without success. Postume will remain in power for nine years, before perishing assassinated for having refused the sack of Mainz, a city which supported Lélien.
