| Beschrijving keerzijde | A galley shown in left profile, with oars extended beneath the hull and a raised stern ornament, symbolizing the prosperity and joyfulness of the reign as expressed by the LAETITIA type. The figure of Laetitia, personification of joy and good fortune, stands or is represented allegorically through the ship motif, a common iconographic choice on Postumus sestertii of this emission. The reverse legend LAETITIA AVG is distributed in the field around the central type. The overall composition occupies the broad flan generously, with exergual space visible below the hull. The style and fabric are consistent with the Treveri mint production of 260-261. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Postumus seized power in 260 AD after executing Saloninus, the young son of Gallienus, at Cologne — an act that simultaneously announced his rebellion and made reconciliation with the central empire impossible. His administration of the breakaway Gallic Empire was, by most measures, competent: the Rhine frontier held, and he issued coinage at Treveri with a regularity that the Rome mints were struggling to match during the same years of crisis.
RIC V.2 #144 falls within his earliest regal years, before the progressive debasement that would mark later Gallic Empire bronzes.
