Poenius Postumus

Poenius Postumus was prefect of the Roman Legion II Augusta, stationed in Britain during the rebellion of Boudicca in 61 AD. He ignored the call to join the governor, Suetonius Paulinus in putting down the rebellion. Hearing of the Roman victory, having denied his troops a share in the glory, he fell on his sword.
