    You are on fire. Way to go with the Galic coinage. Lovely coin.

    This is one of the series with P in the field. I am not comfortable explaining the purpose of the P. If it were a workshop, there should be some S or T coins as well but there are not.

    It may mean simply Postumus which seems odd except for the coins of the next Gallic Emperor Victorinus which have a V in the field. Ideas anyone?
