<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Aethelred, post: 8134596, member: 81808&quot;]I have always enjoyed adding a big LRBC to my collection. I grew up on AE3s and AE4s, so big coins from this era still seem special to me. The short-lived dynasty founded by Valentinian seem to often be overlooked as it fell between the more interesting and impactful dynasties of Constantine and Theodosius, but there was certainly some drama in this era. There was an apparent Imperial suicide, an emperor burned alive in a house and in the case of Valentinian himself, it is recorded that he was given to fits of frightful rage. In what would turn out to be the last such fit, in the midst of yelling, screaming, ranting and raving at his unfortunate underlinings, the emperor suddenly fell over dead!</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1417315[/ATTACH] </p><p>Valentinian I AD 364-375, AE Double Maiorna (AE 1), Constantinople Mint, issued AD 364-364, SR-19400, RIC IX 15</p><p><br /></p><p>I am a really terrible photographer, but this coin is more of a chocolate brown color in person.
