| Reverse description | The emperor Postumus depicted standing facing left in full military attire, holding a globe in his right hand and an upright spear or transverse sceptre in his left, emblematic of universal dominion and imperial power. The figure is rendered in a sturdy, frontal style characteristic of mid-third-century Roman provincial die-cutting. The abbreviated titulature in the surrounding legend references his tribunician power and second consulship. A beaded border frames the design on the irregular hammered flan. |
