Postumus

Postumus was Roman emperor from 260 to 269 CE. Marcus Cassianus Latinius Postumus was a trusted military commander of Emperor Gallienus (253-268 CE) and governor or Germania Superior and Inferior (Upper and Lower Germany). After the death of his father Valerian in 260 CE, Gallienus left him in charge of military operations in the west. It was a mistake the inexperienced and trustworthy emperor would soon regret, for the commander's own troops would take advantage of Gallienus's absence to declare Postumus emperor. It was a move that allowed him to establish himself as the ruler of the Gallic Empire, which included Gaul, Spain, and eventually Britain.

Olaylar karşısında verdiğim tepkilere göre hislerimi tanımaya çalışıyorum. Çok fazla buna ne gerek vardı dediğim tepkiler oluyor. Bunun altında yatan hissin ne olduğunu bir türlü bulamıyorum. Affedilmeyecek şeyler olmadığını düşünüyorum yaşanan bazı şeylerin. Ama buna rağmen kalbimi doğrultamadığım bişeyler var. Öfke mi kırgınlık mı bana bu tepkileri verdiren bir türlü anlayamıyorum. Önceden her ne kadar dilime hakim olamasam da konuşma esnasında birşeylerin yıkılmasına sebep olmaktan korkarken bugün yıkmaktan korkmadan ve ne olacaksa olsun diyerek konuştum. Bu bana yeni yüklemiş bi his ona karşı. İçimde beni bu raddeye götüren şeyi bulup çözemedikçe daha da beter hale geliyor herşey.

Coins of Postumus

Aureus of Postumus in the guise of Hercules, reverse depicts Hercules grasping a mare.

Gold Aureus of Postumus, featuring the busts of Postumus and Hercules on the obverse and Victoria and Felicitas on the reverse.

Aureus featuring helmeted bust of Postumus on the obverse and a trophy with two seated captives beneath on the reverse.

Postumus is widely considered to have some of the most well engraved and unique coins of the third century, and completely surpasses his rival Gallienus in terms of interesting coinage.

Can’t sleep. Thinking about Agrippa dying in childbirth again.

This is obscure history stuff but, I need to talk abt it so you must deal.

So I was reading about the first Habsburg emperor, Frederick III, and oh my god, it seriously read like a comedy. He had the longest rule of any Holy Roman Emperor, right? So im like wahhhhh he must be a pretty good ruler. And granted, he was pretty pragamatic, and would try and make treaties instead of starting conflicts. But the hilarious thing is that he basically succeeded by just outliving all of his adversaries. His strategy was basically "alright, let's see what happens." And it always just worked out for him????

Every single time I started thinking "uh oh this isn't going to work out for him," whoever was in his way would just die??? And not even in a way that involved him, literally just happenstance. First, he becomes the head of the family after two fortuitous deaths. Oh he's having a conflict over land in Austria? Boom his main opponent happens to get assassinated for a completely different reason, and Frederick III is there to reap the inheritance rewards. Oh, the kid he's the guardian of, who happens to be the heir to the Austrian throne, dies of illness? Well, don't worry, Frederick III is there to be the new heir. While trying to sort out the Bohemian throne, one of the potential candidates just uh dies midway through. Okay. Oh, Frederick III's brother is challenging his rule? Well, he just dies suddenly, leaving Frederick III's rule unchallenged, yay! Uh oh, the guy challenging him for the throne of Austria is actually winning rn??? Don't you worry because he just ends up dying suddenly halfway through.

I'm not saying he never made any good decisions or wasn't clever, but so many of his successes just panned out bcs all the people opposing him just died randomly 😭 Truly the most 15th Century narrative ever
