[QUOTE="Victor_Clark, post: 2706771, member: 10613"]maybe if it had a barbell on the reverse or something else specifically pertinent to him. Why these coins are attributed to Aureolus (short version)-- the coins often have P,S, or T in the exergue. the coins often pay tribute to the Equites (cavalry) and Aureolus was in charge of the cavalry. "With a few exceptions they bear reverse legends in honour of the Equites." RIC Vii pg 327. and an ancient source talking about Aureolus and Mediolanum (Milan) "News was now brought to Gallienus, who was involved in the war against the Scythians, that Aureolus, commander of all the cavalry posted at Mediolanum to prevent Postumus invading Italy, had revolted and was seeking supreme power." Zosimus 1:40[/QUOTE]
