So that rules out Arcadius and Honorius . It's him isn't it. Theodosius I

Coins of both Theodosius I and II have been shown lately, but this one doesn't fit either. Next hint after next guess.

You really have to stick to one guess at a time but my hint should rule both out.
The coin can be easily dated.

No - btw, don't know of any base metal coinage of Valens which can be easily dated to within a 365 day period.

"btw, don't know of any base metal coinage of Valens which can be easily dated to within a 365 day period." I have heard of stranger things. Tell me this, is he a member of the Valentinian Dynasty .
