    It's the brother of Valens...Valentinian I; but it is from Siscia.

    Could you give me a hint on the first coin I posted when I first got these? The smallest black one. I know you know. Lol I've searched for it all day. It's really hard to identify. It looks very interesting though.

    It's called a barbarous radiate and it is not an official Roman coin, that is why it is small and looks crude. It is most likely copying a Tetricus I; so struck circa A.D. 271- 274. The reverse is a mess and there are several types it might be copying. The second coin below is an official Tetricus.

    I just looked up barbarous radiate. are imitations of the antoninianus, a type of coin issued during the Roman Empire, which are so named due to their crude style and prominent radiant crown worn by the emperor.

    If you posted a photo before, post it here again. Victor was quick going back to see which coin you were talking about but others that might be able to help might just wonder which coin or may not have seen your first post.

    Barbarous radiates are an interesting sidelight and vary from almost like the originals to barely recognizable as to which side is up. Some of them are even reversed mirror image which makes it even harder to recognize. I don't recognize yours either.
