<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Tejas, post: 7888373, member: 84905&quot;]What a great post @<a href="https://www.cointalk.com/members/orielensis.96898/" class="internalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.cointalk.com/members/orielensis.96898/">Orielensis</a>!</p><p><br /></p><p>I shall post a picture of my Postumus with Salus Provinciarum reverse later.</p><p><br /></p><p>Given Postumus&#039; role in stabilizing the Rhine frontier and protector or restorer of Gaul, I find it surprising that he minted only very few coins refering to VICTORIAE GERMANICAE. I find this scarcity of Germanic war references on Postumus&#039; coins espcecially surprising given that his rival Gallienus celebrated numerous victories.</p><p><br /></p><p>It seems that the only victory that Postumus celebrated (by erecting an triumphal arch) was his victory over Saloninus and Silvanus at the seige of Cologne. Maybe Postumus stabilized the border but never scored a decisive victory against the Germanic tribes?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
