Marcus Cassianus Latinius Postumus, A.D. 260-269. Taking advantage of several revolts in the Empire and a quarrel with Soloninus, the son Gallienus, Postumus led a successful campaign to establish a separatist Romano-Gallic Empire in Gaul & Spain. There was a government established that functioned like the model in Rome and the "Gallic Empire" may be considered the first Western type government in northern Europe. Infighting soon occurred and with the 15 year empire it had a succession of 6 rulers, some very short, before they were defeated in A.D. 274.
