<p>[QUOTE="Gao, post: 635648, member: 19409"]Assuming that you indeed see "SIVSPFAVG" there, it is indeed a coin of Theodosius I, whose VOT/XV/MVLT/XX reverses date to 379-383 AD according to <a href="http://www.tesorillo.com/aes/064/064i.htm" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.tesorillo.com/aes/064/064i.htm" rel="nofollow">this site</a> (which is the best site for identifying late Roman bronzes that I'm aware of). In order to know the exact type of this coin, we're going to need to know the mintmark, which is what's written beneath the wreath on the back. Give us what you can, even if it's only a letter or two. In addition, you will need to give us an idea of the condition before we can give you a meaningful value.</p><p> </p><p>I tried to find some Theodosian VOT/XV/MVLT/XX coins on some of the usual coin shopping sites to give you a very rough ballpark for pricing, but I'm having trouble finding that exact reverse. This could mean that it's a rarer one, or it could just be that no one has any in stock at the moment. I don't have a reference book for coins of this era, and I dont' really collect Romans this late much, so you will have to hope someone else here can give you more information than that (and they'll probably need a mintmark before they can tell you much). You may be able to get a very, very rough idea of how much it's worth by searching for "Theodosius Vot" or "Theodosius Votis" on VCoins, but you would probably need someone who knows more about this particular area to tell you whether this would really be equivalent.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
