And he plundered that city. Postumus' emperorship was a continuous string of campaigns to consolidate his unstable position (the Gallic Empire itself was a temporary split of the Roman Empire thanks to the political situation of the Crisis of the Third Century) and he plundered several cities to finance those campaigns. In my opinion, he didn't want to plunder Mainz (the one that cost him his life) because he wanted to make it his capital. | |
