Commentary


Poids très léger. Rubans de type 1 aux extrémités bouletées. Semble complètement inédit et non recensé pour Galère César. Avec ce type de revers et la lettre R, n’est recensé que pour les Augustes Dioclétien et Maximien Hercule.
Very light weight. Type 1 ribbons with rounded ends. Seems to be completely unpublished and not recorded for Galerius Caesar. With this type of reverse and the letter R, it is only recorded for Augustus Diocletian and Maximian Hercules.

Historical background


GALERIUS

(1/03/293-5/05/311)

Caesar

Galère is of humble origin. Chosen as Caesar on March 1 or May 1, 293, he was subordinate to Diocletian to help him govern the East. Galerius suffered a crushing defeat in 296 against the Sassanids but the following year he defeated Narses. According to Lactantius, he was at the origin of the persecution of Christians in 302-303. During Diocletian's illness, he pushes the latter to abdicate. Diocletian and Maximian leave power on May 1, 305 to Galerius and Constance, who become augusts. The last six years of his life, he watched helplessly as the political regime created by Diocletian: the Tetrarchy crumbled. He died on May 5, 311 after having interrupted the persecution against Christians five days earlier..
