<p>[QUOTE=&quot;ancient coin hunter, post: 2770654, member: 87200&quot;]Valentinian II was emperor from 375-392 C.E. Raised to the purple as a four year old, he was in no position to dictate the affairs of state. As a result, he was heavily influenced by officials, generals mostly of barbaric descent, and his mother. This coin came from an uncleaned hoard and was only very slightly cleaned with distilled water, thus the desert patina remains. </p><p><br /></p><p>Valentinian II AE3</p><p><br /></p><p>Obverse: Pearl diademed, draped, and cuirassed bust right</p><p>&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; DN VALENTINIANVS PF AVG</p><p><br /></p><p>Reverse: Roma enthroned, head left, holding spear and globe</p><p>&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; CONCORDIA AVGGG</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]638817[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]638818[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>Please feel free to share your Valentinian II&#039;s here.
