Wow! Absolutely stunning! Do you have the size and weight of that one ?
It's an interesting source for sure, not least for his gruesome description of Galerius' ailment, but no one source can be relied upon. Everyone...
I really can't recommend clear windows - that's going a bit too far! :woot:
Here's the first Christian symbol on a common coin, RIC VII Ticinum 45 from 316 AD. Maybe no coincidence that it's from the same mint as the...
This is a reference to the Book of Revelation: "Behold, I am coming soon! My reward is with me, and I will give to everyone according to what he...
