Ben Pillar of the Community United Kingdom 4208 Posts	Posted 02/23/2015 5:35 pm All postumus. Aureolus' coins feature Postumus' bust, but are quite distinct due to their legends (usually containing EQVIT) and style, as the milan celators gave Postumus a more roman look.

Topcat7 Pillar of the Community 1121 Posts	Posted 02/23/2015 6:01 pm A.M. Postumus is great because no-one else has a 'similar' legend (like Constan . . . .) and it is usually easy to read. Ben, Good advice. Thanks. So the reason that I cannot tell the busts apart has more to do with the fact that the busts are of the same guy, than my poor abilities? Report this Post to the Staff
