<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Cachecoins, post: 4252025, member: 111237&quot;]Both are interesting emperors, father and son...unprecedented Valerian was captured and never to be seen again leaving Gallienus to deal with Postumus and all the other troubles in the empire at this time. Certainly by this time the quality of coinage was rather low and devaluation was pretty serious. An interesting fact is that the Gallic break away empire of this time under Postumus minted better, higher quality coinage in general (not to say there aren&#039;t fine quality coins of Gallienus). It very likely that this relatively strong break away empire acted as a buffer allowing Rome to survive a serious decline and serious threats from invaders.</p><p><br /></p><p><i><b>Antoninianus - IMP POSTUMUS</b></i></p><p><i><b>(RIC 67)</b></i> - Lugdunum Mint </p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1084740[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>The coin os the Lugdunum mint were generally of better quality than most others of this time.
