Aureolus (267-268 AD). In the name of Postumus. AE Antoninianus (19 mm, 3.15 g), Mediolanum (Milano).
Obv. IMP POSTVMVS AVG, radiate, draped and cuirassed bust right.
Rev. CONCORD AEQVIT, Concordia standing left on prow, holding rudder and patera.
Cunetio 2472 (2 ex).

Rare variant with AEQVIT instead of EQVIT. Very 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 did not support him. After the death of Gallienus, Aureolus was soon overcome and put to death by Claudius II.

Most of Aureolus' reverse legends end on EQVIT or AEQVIT, referring to the heavy cavalry units he commanded.
