Victor Pillar of the Community United States 905 Posts	Posted 03/09/2014 2:40 pm Arcadius did not have any of these SECVRITAS REIPVBLICAE types. The Emperor is Valens and it is from Thessalonica. Report this Post to the Staff
Ben Pillar of the Community United Kingdom 4208 Posts	Posted 03/09/2014 4:05 pm Yeup, thats Valens. Second one seems a bit too far gone...probably a SECVRITAS REIPVBLICAE type, perhaps Theodosius based solely on how small the letters are in the obverse legend, but thats meer conjecture. Its from between Gratian's time and the start of Theodosius II's reign - I dont think much more could be said of it. Report this Post to the Staff
Paul Bulgerin Pillar of the Community United States 3098 Posts	Posted 03/09/2014 5:48 pm If I had to guess I'd say the second one might be a Constantius FEL TEMP REPARATIO with a phoenix standing on a globe. This is normally an AE-3 and this flange looks smaller than that, but the thin faint figure on the reverse does seem to resemble a phoenix. https://www.vcoins.com/en/stores/da...Default.aspx However, I wouldn't be my house on it.
