sel_69l Bedrock of the Community Australia 21788 Posts	Posted 01/13/2017 5:39 pm Over the years, I have seen pictures of the products of about four similar dies, to the example pictured here. All similar dies are most probably the work of a single talented die cutter. He most probably used a life sized plaster bust of Postumus to provide the visual clues needed to produce the image of this usurper accurately. Therefore, we can fairly accurately assume that this is what Postumus looked like. Edited by sel_69l 01/13/2017 5:56 pm Report this Post to the Staff
