Gallic Empire. (Marcus Cassianus Latinus Postumus) founder of the Romao-Gallic Empire in Gaul; perhaps the first unified government in Europe. He copied the true Roman model and had a Senate and other characteristics of Roman rule. This issue seems to allude to a return of Postumus from a trip to Britain. RX: NEPTVNO REDVCI. Van Meter says the object in the r. background is a ships prow. This example may be a variation. RSC IV says Neptune has a mantle behind the l. arm; neither Sear or Van Meter mentions the trident held in the r. hand. S3117; C205; RIC 76.
