Valentinian?

Hi. I picked up this coin along with 3 others including Claudius II. I can read Valentinian but find myself unable to guess whether it is Valentinian I, or II, or even the Third. I need your help to better ID this coin. Thanks.. Charles

It is Valentinian II, 375-392. See here:

Valentinian II. Val I never struck this type.

 

Sorry guys, I made a typo and it's too late to edit. The rest of the attribution is correct: RIC IX Antioch 63b, Valentinian II.
