:^) They’re all Roman coins, but the Gallic Empire was one of the schismatic sub-empires that were concurrent and came and went during the Crisis of the Third Century. :^) My favorite minor emperor of that period is probably still Carausius.

I went to a coin show a few years ago and purchased a Roman coin from that period, honoring the Emperor Marcus Cassianus Latinius Postumus, or just “Postamus”. It looks just like the ones in the photo. I wanted something “ancient” for my meager coin collection, and it was certainly affordable, lol.

His story didn’t end well.
