:high5::cheers::u*meY::cheers::high5:

 

I have Theodora and Helena.

 

This guy fits into the family somehow...

Gallus was a son of Julius Constantius by his first wife Galla. Gallus' paternal grandparents were the Western Roman Emperor Constantius Chlorus and his second wife Flavia Maximiana Theodora. Julius Constantius was a paternal half-brother of the Roman Emperor Constantine I, which, in turn, meant Gallus was a half-first cousin of Constantine's sons, Constantine II, Constantius II and Constans.

"Constantius Gallus was said by Ammianus Marcellinus to have been very good looking, making particular note of his soft blond hair.[SUP][1]"

Constantius Gallus: AD 351-354
Bronze; AE , Centenionalis
OBV: DN CONSTAN-TIVS NOB C, bare-headed, draped, cuirassed bust right
REV: FEL TEMP RE-PARATIO, soldier spearing fallen horseman SMHB in ex

That's a very, very pretty coin!! ... thanks for steppin'-up, Brother Race!!

 

I used to have most of Constantine's family. Actually, all of them except Constantia and Nepotian. Now I sold my Hannibalianus but just bought a Nepotian :-D

 

Well, let's see your schtuff, HH ... so far, you seem to be a total rockstar (man, I'm lovin' it!!)

:hail:

 

Lol, I will try and find a pic. A very unimpressive coin, but I am not complaining!

Rockstar? Cool . More like an 18 year old college student and history enthusiast

 

Here it is! One of the hardest emperors to add to the set. Reigned a mere 3 weeks before he got executed.
