<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dougsmit, post: 2210179, member: 19463&quot;]Perhaps we overlook the importance of Gallus in his day.&nbsp; Constantius II had no son to succeed him and carry on the house of Constantine.&nbsp; After everyone in the family who might be considered a threat had been killed, Rome was down to Gallus and the younger Julian to prevent a free for all to follow Constantius II.&nbsp; The number of Gallus coins suggests he was being promoted heavily as the savior of the future.&nbsp; He also made it unnecessary to start looking for a usurper to fill the slot when it opened.&nbsp; His failure was a major injury to Constantius II&#039;s gameplan. </p><p><br /></p><p>Steve hurts me by not knowing there were Gallus horsemen.&nbsp; Its not like we have posted dozens of them over the years including fistfulls on my FH page.&nbsp; Repeat after me:&nbsp; Falling Horsemen are not worth collecting especially the nice ones.&nbsp; Horses are not animals (although you might make a case that Gallus behaved like one).[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
