Historical background


AUREOLUS

(267-268)

Coinage in Postumus' name

Auréolus, "Magister Equitum" since 260, enters Gaul with Gallien during the year 267 to reconquer the "Pars Occidentalis" of the Empire. Wounded, Gallien returned to Italy, abandoning Auréolus, defeated. Feeling betrayed, Aureolus returned to Italy, allied himself with Postumus and shut himself up in Milan, hence the coinage in the name of Postumus. Gallien runs up and besieges Auréolus, but he is assassinated at the instigation of the new master of the cavalry, Claudius II, who then leaves the besieged to be massacred, to whom he has promised his life in return for his surrender..
