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.
