<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Mikey Zee, post: 2229904, member: 72818&quot;]I just purchased another Empress that I was missing----A Follis of Galeria Valeria; she was the daughter of Diocletian and the wife of Galerius. According to Wikipedia, after Galerius&#039; death, she refused the marriage proposal of Maximinus who arrested her and had her imprisoned in Syria while confiscating her property. At the death of Maximinus, Licinius ordered her death. Valeria fled, hiding for a year in Thessaloniki until found, captured by a mob, beheaded in the central square and her body thrown in the sea.</p><p><br /></p><p>This coin appears better in hand than the sellers photos and has superb surfaces, although the obverse (and reverse) appear to be struck from a slightly worn die.</p><p><br /></p><p>Galeria Valeria Augusta, AD 293-(?)311 AD. AE Follis. Cyzicus Mint. Struck 308-309 AD</p><p>GAL VAL AVG, pearl diademed and draped bust right.</p><p>VENERI VICTRICI.
