Roman Collector Posted June 22 · Patron Share Posted June 22 (edited) Link: Gallerius as Caesar. Galerius as Caesar, 293-305 CE. Roman silvered billon follis, 8.62 g, 27.2 mm, 6 h. Trier, 302-3 CE. Obv: MAXIMIANVS NOBIL C, laureate and cuirassed bust, right. Rev: GENIO POPV-LI ROMANI, Genius standing facing, head left, wearing modius, naked but for chlamys over left shoulder, holding patera and cornucopiae; S/F//IITR. Refs: RIC vi, p. 196, 508b; Cohen 65; RCV 14348. Notes: Some numismatists postulate that the S F in the fields of these coins from Trier is an abbreviation for SAECVLI FELICITAS. Galerius had a slow, painful, embarrassing death from a severe infection of the skin and soft tissue of the crotch called Fournier gangrene. It's too gruesome to describe in a family forum, but you can read about the most loathsome disease of the emperor Galerius here.
