COIN

Unique ID: WILT-68BF3C

Object type certainty: Certain
Workflow status: Published

A Roman copper-alloy nummus of Valentinian I (AD 364-375), dating to the period AD 367-375 (Reece Period 19). GLORIA RO-MANORVM reverse type depicting the Emperor advancing right holding standard and dragging captive. Mint of Siscia. Cf. RIC IX, p. 147, no. 14a.

This coin is perhaps irregular since the mintmark, appearing to begin with Δ rather than B, is listed for Gratian but not Valentinian I in RIC.
