<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Valentinian, post: 2276388, member: 44316&quot;]Late Roman copper coins from Valentinian and later (364 to the end of the empire) are very interesting and among the least expensive of ancient coins. Some come in high grade, some are rare but have little premium anyway, and some are rare and do have a premium. You can see my site on them:</p><p><a href="http://esty.ancients.info/ricix/" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://esty.ancients.info/ricix/" rel="nofollow">http://esty.ancients.info/ricix/</a> </p><p><br /></p><p>You&#039;d have a hard time finding a type rare enough and nice enough that you had to spend $100 on it. Most types have nice examples that sell for $30 or less. </p><p><br /></p><p>The page references the authors whose books cover the period. The original source, <i>Ammianus Marcellinus: The Later Roman Empire (AD. 354-378)</i> translated by Walter Hamilton, Penguin Books, 1986 is very inexpensive. Books 26-31 cover Valentinian I through the death of Valens at the Battle of Adrianople. This is 130 pages of an original ancient source. Highly recommended.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]454267[/ATTACH] </p><p>Theodosius. AE3. 18 mm.
