<p>[QUOTE=&quot;NicholasMaximus, post: 4540856, member: 111966&quot;]I think we might have read that chapter in history a bit differently lol. Postumus was quite lucky to escape the fury of Gallienus on two separate occasions. It is muddy history, but their is speculation that the conniving Aureolus, allowed Postumus to escape the first time.</p><p><br /></p><p>The second time, Gallienus had some</p><p>success but was personally wounded, which derailed the campaign. So literally, yes, Gallienus did head back to Rome with wounds. But Postumus was also very lucky to survive.</p><p><br /></p><p>Gallienus was treated poorly by ancient sources and had a ton of threats to deal with (both internal and external). Some of his cavalry reforms were also pretty significant.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
