<p>[QUOTE=&quot;gsimonel, post: 3299665, member: 82549&quot;]The coin was minted, probably in Nicomedia, during the reign of the emperor Valens, who is depicted on the obverse. The obverse inscription is D N VALEN-S P F AVG. The reverse is GLORIA RO-MANORVM and shows the emperor, advancing right, head turned left, and dragging a captive. He is probably holding a laborum in his left hand, but this is difficult to see in your photo. I think the mint mark is SMNA (hence, minted in Nicomedia) but I&#039;m not positive about this. The lack of any field marks suggests that it was probably minted between 364-367 A.D.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
