[QUOTE="AussieCollector, post: 4963655, member: 81093"]Hi all As some of you may be aware, one of my goals for this year was separating my Roman Empire coins from my Roman Republic coins. For the purposes of my collection (and others may have a different view), the Roman Empire (as a single Empire) dates from 27 BC to 395 AD (after of which, I intend to split the collection into WRE and ERE). Within these parameters, I managed to snag a Roman Empire solidus a few months ago now. It nearly got lost in the international COVID mail debacle, but finally arrived the other day. [IMG]https://www.numisbids.com/sales/hosted/leu_winterthur/e13/image01587.jpg[/IMG] [B]Valens, 364-378 solidus[/B] Specs: 20mm, 4.44g Mint: Treveri Obv: D N VALENS P F AVG Laurel-and-rosette-diademed, draped and cuirassed bust of Valens to right Rev[I]:[/I] VICTOR-IA AVGG / TROBS Two emperors, crowned, seated facing on double-throne, holding a globe together; behind, Victory standing facing with wings spread; below, small palm branch. RIC 17e.4 I intend to finish the presentation of my Roman Empire collection over the weekend, and post the final product - but we shall see! I have also made good gains on my Roman Republic collection, but that's a separate post. Please feel free to share your Roman Empire solidi (whether they be united empire, WRE, or ERE)! AC[/QUOTE]
