[QUOTE="hoth2, post: 2218040, member: 74431"]I just pulled this guy out of my mailbox and had to post almost immediately because I was not prepared for how friggin cool he looks and feels in hand. I've never had an LRB this big, or this sharp.

Now the message board conventions: Galerius was emperor from 293-305. He killed a lot of Carpi folk who, according to Wikipedia, lived in what is today eastern Europe. He didn't like Christianity much, but he got OK enough with it to issue the Edict of Toleration in 311, which stopped the whole thing where the Romans would throw Christians to the lions and generally treat them like they weren't very important. ^if I got any of the history stuff wrong, don't be shy about saying so^ [ATTACH=full]434117[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]434118[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]
