<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Caesar_Augustus, post: 5209312, member: 87659&quot;]Galerius was hugely successful against the Persians leading a massive invasion of their empire and laying waste to Ctesiphon. The Persians would finally learn their lesson and fortify their capital greatly making it quite difficult for Constantius, Julian, Anastasius, Justinian, Maurice and Heraclius to take the city. At the very least Maurice led campaigns into Persia in offense. Heraclius only led campaigns deep into Persia after the Persians have already done their damage and captured key Roman cities in the East.</p><p><br /></p><p>Galerius</p><p>AE Follis</p><p><img src="https://badlight.github.io/josephscoins/images/galerius6/galerius6.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p>308 A.D., Alexandria Mint, 1st Officina</p><p>6.81g, 24.0mm, 12H</p><p><br /></p><p><b>Obverse:</b> IMP C GAL VAL MAXIMIANVS P F AVG,</p><p><i>Laureate head right</i></p><p><br /></p><p><b>Reverse:</b> GENIO IMPE-RATORIS,</p><p><i>Genius standing left, holding patera in right hand with liquid flowing from it, cornucopia in left</i></p><p><br /></p><p><b>Exergue:</b> P/(A over R)//ALE</p><p><br /></p><p><b>Provenance:</b> Ex.
