Extremely fine.

Aureolus was a cavalry general who revolted against Gallienus and declared himself ally of Postumus. After he captured the Mediolanum mint, he started issuing coins in the name of his chosen protector, but Postumus decided not to support him. After the death of Gallienus, Aureolus was soon overcome and put to death by Claudius II.
