<p>[QUOTE=&quot;GregH, post: 2531488, member: 75936&quot;]I agree with this much. Emperors did strike coins at the mint they controlled in the name of their co-emperor.</p><p>I would find the case for Aureolus attributions more convincing, if Postumus actually did strike coins for Aureolus in the mints he controlled. He did not, and there is no evidence Postumus recognised Aureolus as an emperor. Further, there&#039;s no evidence Aureolus was ever anything more than a local military commander.</p><p><br /></p><p>We see &quot;AVG&quot; but do not see &quot;AVGG&quot; on the so-called Aureolus coinage - which is what you&#039;d expect if Aureolus and Postumus were co-emperors.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
