[QUOTE="TIF, post: 2963572, member: 56859"]Admittedly these late roman bronzes aren't my forte, but using [URL='http://www.tesorillo.com/aes/_rev/index1.htm']Tesorillo's ID by reverse type[/URL] pages, my best guess is Theodosius. Hopefully someone else can confirm. The reverse legend is probably VOT X MV[B]LT[/B] XX (or if your coin really has some other characters, an error or barbarous/unofficial coin?). Using Tesorillo's ID by reverse, combined with the size (AE4) your coin has to be either Jovian, Gratian, Valentinian II, Theodosius I, or Arcadius. On your coin's obverse you can discern ".... _O (break) S...", and of the five possibilities Theodosius's name is the only one that has OS together. Ten different mints struck this type for Theodosius.[/QUOTE]
