<p>[QUOTE="panzerman, post: 8069079, member: 77704"]Saint Albans was a "pagan" living in Britannia under Roman rule. The Emperor Diocletian issued a decree that every person had to worship Roman Gods. Alban took pity on a priest hiding from religious persecution in Britannia, he hid him away in his house.Eventually, Roman soldiers found Alban and the priest. Albans had put on the priest's garments and declared his belief in the true God. He ended up being sentenced to death/ and was beheaded. Thus St. Albans Priory struck coins with the Saint holding his severed head.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
