<p>[QUOTE="dougsmit, post: 7671330, member: 19463"]All of my coins of Postumus are interesting to me. He was such a fine looking fellow. I do find it interesting that many of his laureate head sestertii weigh more than his radiate doubles. Example: the pair shown here by Al. Some things remain a mystery. More than a few of his bronzes were overstruck on Antonine period sestertii. Here we see the outline of Antoninus Pius just right of Postumus' forehead. The smaller letters were from the Pius (IVSAVG left of heads) while the larger letters belong to Postumus. The reverse galley is over a Pius reverse I can not identify.

[ATTACH=full]1318070[/ATTACH] The IOVI STATORI has good die work but was not as well struck. [ATTACH=full]1318071[/ATTACH] IOVI VICTORI is from the later period when the alloy was much less silver.
