[QUOTE="Magnus Maximus, post: 2304564, member: 73473"]Nice write up and coins! Most people give Diocletian a rough time for his reforms, but for the most part they worked and helped the Empire to continue to survive until 1453 CE. The Decline of the Western Empire is fascinating to study, and in my opinion it can be attributed to two main things: a lack of interest in civil service by the ruling classes/ downright incompetence and laziness and two major civil wars in the 380's and 90's that the Empire never really recovered from. Just my two bits :D Sorry for the outburst of history, but this forum needs more collectors of Late Roman coinage! I have a few folles of the Tetrarchs, but I do not have them photographed. Sorry :([/QUOTE]
