| Aanvullende informatie |
Postumus founded the breakaway Gallic Empire in 260 AD following the capture of Valerian by Shapur I — the catastrophic Persian victory that left the western provinces effectively without imperial protection. His early coinage aggressively promoted Hercules as a patron deity, a deliberate choice to signal martial strength and legitimacy at a moment when Rome itself could not defend its own frontiers. The Deusonienses reference in this type likely connects to a Germanic tribal grouping near the Rhine, possibly commemorating a specific military action against incursions that Roman central authority had ceased to address.
