| | 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]]. |
 | | 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]]. |
 | | The aureus showing the flag inscribed XXX, mentioned in note 3, is rather to be seen as an attempt to win over the legio XXX, but it stayed loyal to Postumus (see König 1981, 135). |
