ORIENS AVG - Oriens Augusti - o Sol nascente do Imperador. Oriens é latim para "leste". Literalmente, significa "subir" de orior, "subir". O uso da palavra para "subir" para se referir ao leste (onde o sol nasce) tem análogos de muitas línguas: compare os termos "Levant" (francês levant "rising"), "Anatolia" (anatole grego), "mizrahi "em hebraico (de" zriha "significa nascer do sol)," sharq "em árabe e outros. O pictograma chinês para o leste é baseado no sol nascendo atrás de uma árvore e "A Terra do Sol Nascente" para se referir ao Japão. Além disso, muitos templos antigos, incluindo o Templo Judeu em Jerusalém, foram construídos com suas principais entradas voltadas para o Oriente. Situá-los de tal maneira era "orientá-los" na direção correta. Quando algo está voltado para a direção correta, diz-se que tem a "orientação" apropriada.

ORIENS AVG - Oriens Augusti - the rising Sun of the Emperor. Oriens is Latin for "east." Literally, it means "rising" from orior, "rise." The use of the word for "rising" to refer to the east (where the sun rises) has analogs from many languages: compare the terms "Levant" (French levant "rising"), "Anatolia" (Greek anatole), "mizrahi" in Hebrew (from "zriha" meaning sunrise), "sharq" in Arabic, and others. The Chinese pictograph for east is based on the sun rising behind a tree and "The Land of the Rising Sun" to refers to Japan. Also, many ancient temples, including the Jewish Temple in Jerusalem, were built with their main entrances facing the East. To situate them in such a manner was to "orient" them in the proper direction. When something is facing the correct direction, it is said to have the proper "orientation." 

Gallienus - Roman Emperor : 253-268 A.D 

Gallienus "Publius Licinius Egnatius Gallienus Augustus" Born 218AD Died September 268 (aged 50), also known as Gallien,[2] was Roman Emperor with his father Valerian from 22 October 253 to spring 260 and alone from spring 260 to September 268. He ruled during the Crisis of the Third Century that nearly caused the collapse of the empire. While he won a number of military victories, he was unable to prevent the secession of important provinces. His 15-year reign was the longest since the 19-year rule of Caracalla.

Born into a wealthy and traditional senatorial family, Gallienus was the son of Valerian and Mariniana. Valerian became Emperor on 22 October 253 and had the Roman senate elevate Gallienus to the ranks of Caesar and Augustus. Valerian divided the empire between him and his son, with Valerian ruling the east and his son the west. Gallienus defeated the usurper Ingenuus in 258 and destroyed an Alemanni army at Mediolanum in 259.

The defeat and capture of Valerian at Edessa in 260 by the Sasanian Empire threw the Roman Empire into the chaos of civil war. Control of the whole empire passed to Gallienus. He defeated the eastern usurpers Macrianus Major Mussius Aemilianus in 261–262 but failed to stop the formation of the breakaway Gallic Empire under general Postumus. Aureolus, another usurper, proclaimed himself emperor in Mediolanum in 268 but was defeated outside the city by Gallienus and besieged inside. While the siege was ongoing, Gallienus was stabbed to death by the officer Cecropius as part of a conspiracy.
