Poor old Galerius .... He never had an easy life If the 'legend' be true even Diocletian forced him to walk behind his chariot in his big Triumph ! That might account for some of his later animosity And if the tales be true Galerius suffered a most unfortunate (odiferous) 'demise' Well .... I digress Æ Follis Galerius Maximianus Cæsar Lyons RIC 17b AD 294-295 ? A bit rough around the edges ... But so was Galerius ! Obv C VAL MAXIMIANVS NOB C Laureate bare neck bust right Rv GENIO POPV-LI ROMANI Genius standing facing head left wearing modius Naked except for chlamys over left shoulder Holding patera and cornucopia No officina mark no mint mark 9.86 grams 26-29mm RIC VI 17b (Lugdunum) Once again no traces of silvering To all appearances Bronze !

FVRIVS RVFVS Pillar of the Community United States 3473 Posts	Posted Yesterday 09:38 am Very nice .... The cuirassed bust types are my favorites The 'Generalissimo's of the tetrarchy period just don't look right to me when out of uniform ! Hence my overindulgence in London & Trier And a couple of Lyons Especially those 'lefties' ! Edited by FVRIVS RVFVS Yesterday 3:04 pm Report this Post to the Staff
