<p>[QUOTE=&quot;GinoLR, post: 8108336, member: 128351&quot;]This 2 solidi coin was something exceptional, it may have been minted very soon after Valentinian&#039;s election in 364. The reverse shows the allegory of Rome enthroned facing and Constantinople enthroned left, wearing turreted crown and foot on prow, each one holding a globe supporting a victory crowning them. With the legend <i>Securitas Rei Publicae</i>, this reverse type is close to the reverse types of Jovian&#039;s solidi.</p><p>During his reign, Valentinian&#039;s solidi with Rome and Constantinople enthroned had the legend <i>Gloria Romanorum</i> (and Rome and Constantinople hold a shield inscribed <i>Vot. X mult. XX</i>). The legend <i>Securitas Rei Publicae</i> is found on AE3 only, with a victory advancing left holding wreath and palm. The parallel for this medallion is only found on Jovian&#039;s solidi, <i>Securitas Rei Publicae</i>, Rome and Constantinople holding a shield inscribed <i>Vot. V mult. X. </i>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
