<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Al Kowsky, post: 4264049, member: 97383&quot;]The fortunes of many emperors &amp; usurpers were ever changing depending on the current economy as Doug Smith illustrates with his post. Everything was going well for Postumus for a long time until one of his generals, Laelianus, staged a revolt in Mainz. The revolt lasted about two months and Postumus was successful in quelling it, later executing Laelianus. At the same time this revolt was happening the new emperor, Claudius II &quot;Gothicus&quot;, was attacking from the south and managed to take Spain back into Roman control. Postumus was assassinated by his own troops in 269 most likely because he refused to let them sack Mainz.</p><p>It looks like the Moneta antoniniani are plentiful and many fine example have been posted by <b>CT </b>members. The examples by Bing (James), Orielensis, and ominus1 are all handsome coins. As Orielensis points out he had talented celators working for him.The portrait on the coin Severus Alexander posted is breathtaking and equal to any of his portraits seen on gold coins.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
