Hello, I collected five different emperors with the same reverse GLORIA ROMANORVM (Glory of the Romans). I think I only miss Valentinian II with this reverse type. For Valentinian I, Valens and Gratian, this is a common reverse and is easy to find. For Arcadius, Theodosius and Valentinian II, it is a little scarcer. This small set is of course need to be expanded with as many different mints as possible. How much I can see on vcoins is the most expensive Valentinian I with the Lugdunum mintmark (LVG). Reverse: GLORIA ROMANORVM, Emperor advancing right, dragging captive and holding labarum. From numiswiki: GLORIA ROMANORUM. - This legend was first used, as a new title of personal honour, under Constantine the Great, who certainly did perform so many remarkable achievements, that in his case, the emperor was the whole Glory of the Romans. The same epigraph also appears on coins, not only of his sons Constantine jun. Constans, and Constantius; but likewise of Nepotianus, Vetranio, Magnentius, Constantius Gallus, Julianus II, Valentinianus, Valens (see p. 424), Procopius, Gratianus, Valentinianus II, Theodosius the Great, Arcadius, Honorius, &c. Post your examples with this reverse or anything you consider relevant. Valentinian I Valens Gratian Theodosius I Arcadius
GLORIA ROMANORVM was used with several different scenes by all those emperors. This is Valentinian II but not a hair dragger. AE2 Constantinople emperor on ship steered by Victory
