Translation	After Valerianus, Galienus, his son, assumed the leadership of the Romans. His father, campaigning against the Persians, left him in the West to resist those lying in wait in Italy and those plundering Thrace. Attacking the Alamanni, who were about 300,000 strong, around Mediolanum, he was victorious with 10,000. Then, too, he proceeded against the Aerouli, a Scytho-Gothic race, and prevailed. He also warred against the Franks.
Summary	Summary of the military deeds of the Emperor Gallienus after the death of Valerianus (260s). The Aerouli are defined as a Scytho-Gothic race (Σκυθικὸν and Γοτθικὸν γένος).
