Little is known about the early life of Postumus, but it is believed that he was a Gaul of humble origins who rose through the ranks of the army, eventually becoming the governor of Upper or Lower Germany.
While Gallienus was dealing with problems in the east, he left his son, Saloninus, and military commanders, including Postumus, to protect the Rhine.
After breaching the walls of the city, Postumus had Silvanus and Saloninus killed; later he erected a triumphal arch to celebrate his victory.
