Interesting fact
The Nummus - Galerius (GENIO IMPERATORIS; Heraclea) (310) coin features an image of the Roman Emperor Galerius, who ruled from 293 to 311 AD. Galerius was known for his military campaigns against the Persians and his efforts to restore the Roman Empire's economy and military strength. He also issued several important laws, including the Edict of Toleration in 311 AD, which allowed Christians to practice their religion openly and marked a significant turning point in the history of Christianity.
