<p>[QUOTE=&quot;YOC, post: 2388795, member: 58941&quot;]I was sat looking at ebay last night at about 2am. ( I know, but its therapeutic, right?), and spotted a French seller had just listed some lovely big old folles.&nbsp; I am guessing these came from a hoard at some point; in fact from the deposits, I know they came from a hoard.&nbsp; The last really good Galerius i bought cost me about $180, which I know is loads, but it is as struck and very very nice, although I did get into a bidding war.&nbsp; This one cost me $60 delivered (when it arrives) and I&#039;ll clean the deposits off and hopefully have another beauty.</p><p>I know the term FDC is not often used in ancients and when I use the term, I generally mean the coin is an absolute belter and has received no wear at all since it was struck. I love seeing these....and I am still on the look out for a BIG AE2 fallen horseman &#039;&#039;as struck&#039;&#039;&nbsp; (the last real beauty of the type sold on ebay for about $180, and they certainly fetch premium prices when they are the best of type.&nbsp; so I&#039;ll post a few which I think fit the bill and I&#039;d love to see yours too.......</p><p>This is my latest, yet to arrive. (as I said, the green will all be going, so look through it for now)</p><p>[ATTACH=full]490511[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]490512[/ATTACH]</p><p>Ruthless, scheming and manipulative, Galerius Valerius Maximianus, called Galerius to distinguish him from his co-ruler Maximian, tried to take over the Tetrarchy by appointing puppets as Caesars. He also initiated relentless persecution of the Christians. In the end, however, all his efforts proved fruitless. Early Christian historians claim that his slow, painful and humiliating death was punishment from God for his treatment of the Christians.</p><p><br /></p><p>yum yum!!!![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
