Galerius (Gaius Galerius Valerius Maximianus)
Coins of Galerius are divided into two pages. Page 1 includes coins struck during the first Tetrarchy, when he ruled as Diocletian's Caesar. Page 2 includes coins struck when he reigned as Augustus, and the commemorative coins struck after his death (a little bit odd that anyone struck such coins, since by the time he died everyone was pretty much sick of him).
