Very nice follis, of Galerius, as Caesar, London mint (i.e after they'd got it back, but before they wanted people to know they were striking coins at London).

That's a great I'd probono, something different on a club dig. Thank you again. George is on a Roman roll at the moment, we might have to change his name, any ideas ??
