In 228/7 BC, he was the leader of a Roman military campaign against the Illyrian queen Teuta. However he did not celebrate a triumph for this victory upon his return. In 216 BC, with the rank of a praetor, he was to lead his army of two legions plus reinforcements against the Celtic Boii. The following year, in his absence, he was elected consul for the third time, although he did not live to officially enter consulship. While traveling through the Litana Silva forest in Gallia Cisalpina, Postumius was ambushed by a force of Boii warriors who annihilated most of his soldiers. Postumius and the remainder of the legions tried to escape over a nearby bridge, but they were slaughtered by a Boian detachement who guarded the crossing.
