Link: Postumus. What a great depiction of the Rhine with horns on his head. What would it mean for the Gallo-Romans of the time of Postumus: a river god, horns, life-stream symbols, carrying an urn?  

Anyway, this is another Postumus with a local god, Hercules Deusoniensis. The last part of the name is variously interpreted, often chauvinistic Dutch, but we can only say 'Nobody Knows'.
