<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Valentinian, post: 2171739, member: 44316&quot;]Coins like Collect89&#039;s are a good reason to like late Roman AE. You can get a type set of high-grade coins without spending a fortune. I recently got this Theodosius I AE13 for $16 postage included.[ATTACH=full]419441[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]419442[/ATTACH]</p><p>Siscia mint. Well centered. Lovely surface. It has two weak letters but is close to uncirculated. </p><p>&nbsp; The post-Constantinian emperors are not as well known, but there are good books on them. For the primary ancient source for Valentinian and Valens, see Ammianus Marcellinus: The Later Roman Empire(AD. 354-378) translated by Walter Hamilton, Penguin Books, 1986 (which 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.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
