[QUOTE="Sallent, post: 2854181, member: 76194"]Today I took additional important steps towards my 3rd Century project with the acquisition of a few Gallic coins. First up Victorinus, who ruled the Gallic Empire from 269-272 CE. He liked to sleep with his mens' wives, which led him to an early grave when an upset husband plunged a knife into him for making sexual advances towards his wife.This is one sharp little coin with a magnificent bust of Victorinus. [ATTACH=full]677984[/ATTACH] Victorinus Ae Antoninianus Pax Avg And I did also acquire a nice budget Tetricus I, whom replaced Victorinus and was one of the last two Gallic Emperors. It has a nice Salus reverse, and while it may not be the sharpest coin out there, it is a decent example of its type and it came with a bargain price that was too good to pass up. [ATTACH=full]677983[/ATTACH] Tetricus I Ae Antoninianus Salvs Avg And it kind of compliments nicely my recently aquired budget Tetricus II [ATTACH=full]677987[/ATTACH] Tetricus II Ae Antoninianus Anyway, post anything you deem relevant.[/QUOTE]
