    I have collected late Roman AE seriously for over thirty years. I am now offering coins from my collection at prices I think you will find are below those of well-known fixed-price sites, and being a collection, the quality is usually higher too.

    Today I added many of the types of Gratian (367-383 AD) and Valentinian II (375-392)-- fourteen coins. Below are just a few. Please look at the site (which has many more coins of these emperors and also from all ancient-coin series including Roman, Greek, and Byzantine):
