But I have never seen one of Galerius as Augustus before I am going to assume this is extremely rare And the legend ...... IN ? I have never seen it ...... meaning ? Galerius was Diocletians man in the East Is there a similar Constantius type ? If you ever want to part I am heavy on London I would surrender a tetrarchy for it At least ! To be clear I have never previously seen this Obverse legend In my excitement I was at a loss for words Edited by FVRIVS RVFVS 10/07/2019 09:20 am Report this Post to the Staff
