It clearly shows one of Santa&#039;s elfs riding Rudolf the Red-Nosed Reindeer, the glorified pack animal whose main task was pulling the sleigh.

Or the gift logistics changed in the years between Postumus and &quot;Tetricus&quot;?</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1041958[/ATTACH]</p><p><font size="3">&quot;Tetricus I&quot; or similar, Roman Empire, barbarous radiate, late 3rd century AD, unofficial mint in Gaul or Britain.
