 Roman Emperors - DIR Laelian
If at the moment of his revolt against Postumus, Laelianus was indeed governor of Germania Superior, he would thus have commanded the loyalty of Legio XXII Primigenia at his provincial capital and possibly also that of Legio VIII Augusta at Argentorate (Strasbourg).

It is clear that the rebellion was centered on Mainz capital of Germania Superior.
