Laelianus (A.D. Laelianus, usurper against Postumus, the first emperor of the so-called “Gallic Empire”, is a shadowy figure.

Laelianus was defeated and most probably killed in Mainz by the troops of Postumus.

Laelianus: emperor of the Gallic Empire (spring 269).
Laelianus was, indeed, a very brave man, but in the face of rebellion his strength was insufficient to give him authority over the Gauls.
Laelianus, in fact, did to some extent benefit the commonwealth; for many of the communes of Gaul and also some of the camps, built on barbarian soil by Postumus during his seven years, but after his murder plundered and burned during an incursion of Germans, were restored by him to their ancient condition.

 Roman timeline from 268AD to 284AD
Laelianus, usurper against Postumus, the first emperor of the so-called “Gallic Empire”, is a shadowy figure.
A strong argument in favor of this hypothesis is the fact that the literary sources clearly show his revolt to be centered on Moguntiacum (Mainz), the provincial capital of Upper Germania.
In any case, Laelianus's attempt to seize power is best understood in the light of the growing political and military difficulties which Postumus had to face and, especially, the dissatisfaction of the troops on the Rhine frontier with their emperor.

 Roman Emperors - DIR Marius
Postumus, murdered by his own troops for not allowing them to sack Moguntiacum (Mainz), the provincial capital of Germania Superior and former capital of the defeated usurper Laelianus.
Obviously Marius was in a very difficult position from the very first days of his reign: he needed to retain the loyalty of Postumus' troops which had brought him to power; he also had to reconcile these forces with the remnants of Laelianus' army.
König thinks that Cologne remained the capital of Marius and that Marius' successor Victorinus moved the capital of the "Gallic Empire" to Trier (König 1981, 145).

Laelianus (Ulpius Cornelius), one of the usurpers in the time of Gallienus.
He appears to have been of Spanish origin, and when Postumus was slain by his soldiers, he seized upon the government at Maguntiacum (Mayence, in Germany), about AD 267.

Laelianus was a usurper against Postumus, himself another usurper, who was unable to rout the incumbent when their forces met in battle.
Laelianus thus had a tenure lasting from near the beginning of the year 269 through no later than that summer.
Because of this short time there was little time for him to make much of a mark on history.

 The Gallic Empire
Within the following year (AD 269), possibly due to dissatisfaction about Aureolus' rebellion, Postumus needed to deal with a rebel on his own side who rose up against him on the Rhine.
This rebel was Laelianus, one of Postumus' most senior military leaders, who was hailed emperor at Moguntiacum (Mainz) by the local garrison as well as by other troops of the area.
Postumus was close by, at Augusta Trevivorum, and acted immediately.

After the rebellion of Laelianus (Ulpus Cornelius Laelianus) and his defeat, Postumus refused to authorize his troops to ramsack Mogontiacum, and this caused the rage of his soldiers who killed him.
Postumus as a military officer had a complete success stopping the barbarians in the Rhine border as resisting and repelling the attacks by Gallienus who repeatedly insisted in his intent to recover the control of the rebel provinces.

 Empereurs romains - Les Trente tyrans : Laelianus
En février ou mars 269, alors que Postumus, empereur romain des Gaules, allait célébrer le dixième anniversaire de son accession au trône, un certain Laelianus (Lélien) leva contre lui l'étendard de la révolte et se fit, à son tour reconnaître comme empereur par quelques villes de Germanie.
En fait, l'usurpation de Laelianus, qui survint après une campagne victorieuse contre les Germains, tire sans doute son origine de disputes lors du partage du butin.

 Thirty Tyrants (Roman) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Given the notorious unreliability of the Historia Augusta, the veracity of this list is debatable; there is a scholarly consensus that the author deliberately inflated the number of pretenders in order to parallel the Thirty Tyrants of Athens.
The Thirty Tyrants listed by the Historia Augusta were: Cyriades, Postumus, Postumus Junior, Laelianus, Victorinus, Victorinus Junior, Marius, Ingenuus, Regalianus, Aureolus, Macrianus, Macrianus Junior, Quietus, Odaenathus, Herodes, Maeonius, Balista, Valens, Valens Superior, Piso, Aemilianus, Saturninus, Tetricus Senior, Tetricus Junior, Trebellianus, Herennianus, Timolaus, Celsus, Zenobia, Victoria (or Vitruvia), Titus, and Censorinus.
According to David Magie (the editor of the Loeb Classical Library edition of the Historia Augusta), the nine pretenders contemporary with Gallienus were: Postumus, Laelianus, Marius, Ingenuus, Regalianus, Aureolus, and Macrianus and his two sons, Macrianus Minor and Quietus.

On looking back, it could be said that the rebellion of Postumus was actually good for the Western Roman Empire because Postumus was a highly capable leader during this time of crisis.
In A. 268, an obscure governor of Lower Germany named Laelianus rebelled.
Postumus quickly crushed the rebels, but would not let his own troops sack Mainz, the city where the rebels had made their headquarters.

Ironically, the inroads of the Germanic tribes gave Postumus a chance to solidify his hold over the West, for each victory brought further support from the populace.
He thus issued coinage with the title "RESTITVTOR GALLIARUM." This claim of having restored Gaul was rendered inaccurate in 268, when Laelianus attempted his own revolt.
Although put down, the uprising seemed to have weakened Postumus' position.

Ulpius Cornelius Laelianus rebelled against Postumus, and although the usurper was quickly attacked and destroyed, the refusal of Postumus to allow his troops to sack Moguntiacum (Mainz), which had supported the rebel, led to his own assassination.
Why his coins carry references to the Orient is unclear.
