<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Choucas, post: 7432141, member: 100117&quot;]Indeed, when it comes to the mints of the gallic empire it is agreed that the main mint was Trier and that Cologne was probably (re?)opened by Postumus in his late reign. Then both mints were operating during the reigns of Victorinus and Tetricus, and were probably merged again into a single treveri mint by Tetricus.</p><p><br /></p><p>Two interesting points :</p><p>- the first coins minted by Postumus have a very unusual portrait and an error in the legend (POSTIMVS), suggesting that Postumus was away and that engravers did not know how he looked and how to spell his name</p><p>- the very last coins minted for Gallienus are the coins of Saloninus bearing the title of august (a few dozens are known), and it is very likely that they were made in Cologne while the city was besieged by Postumus[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
