«Галльская империя» от Постума до Тетриков

Representations about the «Gallic Empire» constantly extend. Interest to a problematic increases in process of detection all the new and new facts which in the end of a XIX century was only assumptions, in XX — the first decade of XXI century have received weighty proofs or the given reason refutation. In particular, earlier territorial structure the «Gallic Empire» was limited only to Gallia and both Germany, then has been established and has found acknowledgement that Postumus was sworn by Britain and Spain. Now it is known that the province of Raetia also was a part of the «Gallic Empire», and that Postumus supervised a part of coast of Flanders. Besides, it is possible to assert that two buffer zones have been created and while only to assume military operations of Postumus around Agri Decumates. The new archaeological data has allowed asserting that the first Gallic emperor not only owned fleet, but, supervising coast and the large rivers, actively resisted to pirates. In more details it became known about military forces of the Gallic emperors, and, the main thing, the chronology of their board is specified. The sequence of the Gallic emperors became clearer, but there were new questions after a find of a coin of Domitianus. We know neither about its politician, nor about the regions which have recognized its power. Representations about mutual relations of the risen deputies as antique authors inform on declaration of emperors in provinces and their short board, as about events rather local, not overstepping the bounds of separately taken region extend. And after all about some proclaimed emperors it is known very little, as well as about social and economic development of the regions which were a part of the «Gallic Empire».

Thus to put an end too early. StiII there are «white stains», there is without the answer some question, some aspects of existence of the «Gallic Empire» are debatable. However constantly replenishing the foundation of sources can expand with only one find our representations about events of second half III century and, the main thing, about the «Gallic Empire».
