Postumus the Younger
In the ''Historia Augusta'', Postumus the Younger ((ラテン語:Postumus Iūnior)) figures as one of the so-called Thirty Tyrants who usurped power against the Roman Emperor Gallienus.
According to the pseudo-historical list of 'Thirty Tyrants', the Emperor of the Gallic Empire Postumus had a son, also called Postumus, whom he nominated to be first ''caesar'', and later even ''augustus'' and co-ruler. Postumus the Younger would have been killed together with his father in 268, during the rebellion of Laelianus (called Lollianus in the ''Historia'').〔''Historia Augusta'' (authorship disputed), (''Tyranni Triginta'' 4 )〕
The historian J. F. Drinkwater dismisses the ''Historia Augustas reference to Postumus the Younger as a "fiction".〔J. F. Drinkwater (1987). ''The Gallic Empire: Separatism and continuity in the north-western provinces of the Roman Empire, A.D. 260–274'', Franz Steiner Verlag Wiesbaden GMBH, Stuttgart, ISBN 3-515-04806-5, p. 65.〕 There are no references to any son of Postumus on coins or inscriptions from the period.
The author(s) of the ''Historia'' asserts that Postumus the Younger was a skilled rhetor, and that his ''Controversiae'' were included among Quintilian's ''Declamationes''.〔
