Roman Coin: Complete but very worn struck or hammered copper alloy nummus of uncertain ruler with Victory advancing left with wreath aloft reverse type. Due to the lack of inscription detail it is not possible to be confident about asigning this coin to a specific ruler or period of rule. Due to the small flan size, however, it is most likely that this coin is later and probably dates to the House of Theodosius c.388-402 or possibly to the House of Valentinian c.364-378.
