KurtS Posted March 5, 2012 Report Share Posted March 5, 2012 A nicely detailed, smaller Roman with great patina. A good example of what you can get for just $9 Valens AE3, RIC 16b, struck 364-367 AD at Constantinople/4th. Officina OBV: DN VALEN-S PF AVG, pearl diademed, draped, cuirassed bust right REV: GLORIA RO-MANORVM, emperor advancing right, holding labarum and dragging captive behind him.
