Only RIC 25, in AQPS, was issued between 378 and 383 in the name of this prince. At the end of this period, the Aquileia workshop will continue to issue a siliqua on the reverse at the Concordia for Valentinien II: a unique copy has been found and referenced with this mint mark SMAQP.</font></p><p><font size="4">It is quite plausible that this officina also issued in the name of Theodosius I with these same characteristics. This copy was cropped, and the current weight of 0.95 Gr was to be on the isue at about 1.2-1.3 Gr, that of a half siliqua. We are certainly dealing with an official program of the Aquileia mint.</font></p><p><font size="4">In addition, the mintissued bronze Ae3 with the same features of observe and reverse (see RIC 32d1)</font></p><p><font size="4"><br /></font></p><p><a href="http://www.siliques.fr/SILIQUAE_WEB/fichemonnaie/01916.htm" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.siliques.fr/SILIQUAE_WEB/fichemonnaie/01916.htm" rel="nofollow"><font size="4">Fiche de la monnaie sur la base Siliquae</font></a>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
