<p>[QUOTE=&quot;ValiantKnight, post: 2728041, member: 44210&quot;]I remember reading, probably on Wikipedia, about an account of someone traveling around Italy and Gaul around the late 4th-early 5th century AD. I think it might have mentioned that he had to not directly go through Italy and instead sailed around it due to the barbarian threat there at the time. I can&#039;t remember if the one who was traveling was a trader, official, priest, etc. I thought it was an interesting first-hand look at how things were at that time for this area of the Roman west. I tried a Google and Wikipedia search but both failed. Would anyone here know what/who I might be referring to?</p><p><br /></p><p>To keep this coin-related (not that the mods will put up a fuss about it, given the subject matter of my question, just want to make this thread more interesting and relatable), let&#039;s post our Roman coins from the late 4th-early 5th century AD (western mints especially).</p><p><br /></p><p>Jovinus</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="https://www.cointalk.com/attachments/jovinus_zpsgdobx5l3-jpg.570745/" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>Valentinian I</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="https://www.cointalk.com/proxy.php?image=http%3A%2F%2Fi1197.photobucket.com%2Falbums%2Faa429%2FLurkingNinja%2FP1070018_zpsd74d92f3.jpg&amp;hash=59ed70d2f57f9819dd11d74dc4607501" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>Theodosius I</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="https://www.cointalk.com/proxy.php?image=http%3A%2F%2Fi1197.photobucket.com%2Falbums%2Faa429%2FLurkingNinja%2Ftheothes_zpsad97c847.jpg&amp;hash=5a79a75ab21a6aaae001abc4e1e9c318" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>Valens</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="https://www.cointalk.com/proxy.php?image=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.cointalk.com%2Fproxy.php%3Fimage%3Dhttp%253A%252F%252Fi1197.photobucket.com%252Falbums%252Faa429%252FLurkingNinja%252Fvalens_zpsfhxs58yv.jpg%26hash%3D4d1f2a3185802f1d1d3af098b14f83b3&amp;hash=40e9cc6816bb8c3f2d787d286c36bdc9" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>Honorius</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><img src="https://www.cointalk.com/proxy.php?image=http%3A%2F%2Fi1197.photobucket.com%2Falbums%2Faa429%2FLurkingNinja%2Fvrbsromafelix_zpsa823e5d8.jpg&amp;hash=c2e6fbaa82399f0cf4ac38d229325ddc" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>Flavius Victor</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="https://www.cointalk.com/attachments/flavius-victor-jpg.530174/" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>Magnus Maximus (very old photo)</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="https://www.cointalk.com/proxy.php?image=http%3A%2F%2Fi1197.photobucket.com%2Falbums%2Faa429%2FLurkingNinja%2FMagnusMaximus0_zps89074e1b.jpg&amp;hash=b46ea6fd48d917c1eeb17267530e30e5" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>Eugenius</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="https://www.cointalk.com/attachments/eugenius-jpg.525730/" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>I have more but I&#039;ll just post the above.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
