GR58 Bedrock of the Community United States 11951 Posts	Posted 07/23/2014 4:52 pm I hope to get some opinions on if this coin is real or fake. On the holder it has written Valentinian I A.D. 364 - 375 It is a thin coin and about 20MM across. Any opinions if it might be real. Report this Post to the Staff

FVRIVS RVFVS Pillar of the Community United States 3444 Posts	Posted 07/23/2014 8:09 pm By the way I believe it is Rome mintage and the reverse is the IOVI CONSERVTORI type ( Zeus Saves ! ) Licinius II was with his father the last of the old pagan emperors. Being the nephew of a saint (Constantine the Great) didn't save him from getting a last haircut from his uncle. Report this Post to the Staff
