    As Valentinian I was mentioned in a recent CoinTalk forum, I thought that it would

    be appropriate to also refer to his murdered predecessor:

    Place and Date of Death: Died 17 November 375 at Brigetio on the Danube
    Jovian died on 17 February 364, en route to Constantinople, after a reign of only eight months. There are many rumours that Jovian was murdered by being smothered to death or poisoned with mushrooms. When Jovian died, the army chose another soldier named Valentinian

    This coin:

    IOVIANVS. Pearl diademed draped bust l. “DN IOVIANVS PF AVG”. Rev.: “VOT V” in wreath, “HERAC” in exerg, 363 -364, AEAnt. VF (19mm.) (3.5gr.) Mint: Heraclea, Seaby RC 3986, C.32.
    Please show our Ioviani !
