A very worn copper alloy Roman nummus, probably of the House of Valentinian (AD 364-78) (Reece Period 19), unclear reverse type. Mint unclear. The obverse legend appears to be [ ... ]N - [ ... ] which would mean it is for Valens. The reverse is very unclear, but might just be GLORIA ROMANORVM with emperor holding standard and dragging captive.
