<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Valentinian, post: 6444541, member: 44316&quot;]Jovian had only four AE reverse types. The AE1 is scarcer and costs more than the two AE3s, but is nevertheless readily available. It is the AE4, 14 mm,&nbsp; VICTORIA AVGVSTI N, Victory standing left holding wreath and palm, that is the hard one to find. </p><p><br /></p><p>Kent, when writing RIC VIII, was aware of only two examples, neither of which had a legible mintmark. When one came up for sale in 2014 it was the only type I needed to complete my Jovian &quot;type set&quot; so I bid high enough to win it. </p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1255724[/ATTACH]</p><p>Jovian, Roman emperor 27 June 363 - 16 Feb. 364.</p><p>14 mm. 1.70 grams.</p><p>RIC Rome 335 &quot;R4&quot; (no photo)</p><p>Failmezger 472 (no photo) </p><p><br /></p><p>After I got this coin, I wrote a website on his AE types:</p><p><br /></p><p><a href="http://augustuscoins.com/ed/Jovian/Jovian.html" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://augustuscoins.com/ed/Jovian/Jovian.html" rel="nofollow">http://augustuscoins.com/ed/Jovian/Jovian.html</a></p><p><br /></p><p>I think it is neat that ancient coins of an emperor who ruled less than a year are so available.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
