Who did this Gallenius fella piss off to end up in that sticky situation?

Oh, it was just the usual situation of "I can do better" + "His support is waning right now and I REALLY want to be Emperor". Dime a dozen, too many emperors to count lost to that simple ambition. Gallienus had been struggling with several major revolts for a long period of time, which probably fueled frustrations against him.
