||title=Usurper of the Gallic Empire}}{{Campaignbox Crisis of the Third Century}}Ulpius Cornelius Laelianus[1] (also incorrectly referred to as Lollianus and Aelianus)[2] was a usurper against Postumus, the emperor of the Gallic Empire. His revolt lasted from approximately late February to early June 269.[3]

Origins

Little is known about Laelianus. He shares the same nomen as a prominent Spanish noble family, the Ulpii, that included Trajan among its members, and may have been a relative.[4] This is supported by the strong allusion to Hispania on an aureus he struck, which featured the design of Hispania reclining with a rabbit to her side. If he indeed was a relative, this may be the reason Spain allied itself with Claudius II, after the death of Postumus, seemingly without a struggle.

Rule

Laelianus declared himself emperor at Moguntiacum in February/March 269.[5] after repulsing a Germanic invasion.[6] Although his exact position is unknown, he is believed to have been a senior officer under Postumus,[7] either the legatus of Germania Superior{{cn|date=August 2018}} or the commander of Legio XXII Primigenia.[8] Laelianus represented a strong danger to Postumus because of the two legions he commanded (Primigenia in Moguntiacum and VIII Augusta in Argentoratum);[9] Despite this, his rebellion lasted only about two months before he was executed,[10] reputedly by his own soldiers, or by Postumus' troops after a siege of Laelianus' capital.[11] The siege of Moguntiacum was also fatal for Postumus; it is said he was slain when he refused to allow his troops to plunder the city following its capture.[12]

Laelianus (under the name Lollianus) is listed among the Thirty Tyrants in the Historia Augusta.
