<p>[QUOTE="Victor_Clark, post: 10725975, member: 10613"]Your coin has the Emperor Valens on the obverse (D N VALEN- S P F AVG) and the reverse is GLORIA ROMANORVM; Emperor dragging a captive. The mintmark is tough to make out, but it looks like it is from Siscia (modern day Sisak, Croatia) and was struck A.D. 364- 367. The reverse is a standard type of propaganda from the Roman Empire-- "Glory of the Romans" and their power over everyone. Ironically though, Valens was killed by Goths at the Battle of Adrianople in A.D. 378.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
