So lets see close to Theodosius , earlier than Honorius ,and close to Gratian . It's Valentinian II isn't it.

My notice says 378-383, waiting for the final volume of Sear's new edition, he might have narrowed it down.
It's RIC#56b with "CONS." mintmark (barely legible).

Just about time for bed (my time). I must admit I rather like the "hunt" more than the prize when it comes to Med's coins. Anyone may post for me.

My reference has it at 379-383. Not much of a difference.

@ Med. I only ask to determine his age ,because according to your info , Valentinian II is between 8 and 12 years old when your coin was struck. Judging from the coin, that is a very interesting portrait for a prepubescent teen.  |

First impression is that of a fire fighter, but then the radiate crown becomes visible.
Somehow doesn't really look Roman, but I'll got for starters with
Licinius

Since you had Probus not that long ago,
Mumerian?

Nope, Close. This is a bit of a rare bust type so it might be a little more difficult.
