    Well I've had a streak of good luck finding dirt cheap LRBs for my Constantine family tree. First a Theodora, then a Constantine II GLORIA EXERCITIS, now this Constantius Gallus. The legends on the obverse are weak, but what I liked about this coin is the excellent, centered rendition of the falling horseman device - my best one yet...

    Here's a quote from ERIC concerning Gallus. He's not one of the better-known Constantines...
