		The Octavani are evidently the old Legio VIII Augusta Pia Fedelis Constans, formerly based as Argentoratum (Strasbourg), but from an inscription mentioning the legion from Zurzach in Switzerland dating to 371AD they had apparently been partially or entirely moved away from Strasbourg before they were drafted into the Magister Peditum's Italian command.

	Roman Emperors - DIR Laelian
		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 Germany [[6]].
		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).
		In any case, Laelianus' 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 [[7]].
