allranger Pillar of the Community United States 1391 Posts	Posted 02/07/2015 10:36 pm I think this is a Constantius II coin. Very small. I was thinking maybe this one: http://www.wildwinds.com/coins/sear/s4000.html Not sure, I am finding this one to be a little bit harder. Report this Post to the Staff

Augustus Maximus Pillar of the Community Italy 1790 Posts	Posted 02/07/2015 10:44 pm I am leaning toward Valentinian II . This may help. http://www.tesorillo.com/aes/061/061i.htm Edited by Augustus Maximus 02/07/2015 10:45 pm Report this Post to the Staff

allranger Pillar of the Community United States 1391 Posts	Posted 02/07/2015 11:01 pm Okay, the back looks a lot like the VOT / X / MVLT / XX. I think you are correct with the Valentinian II the more I look at it under the loupe. The three letters of the legend on the front that are remaining are rather worn, but I don't think they help much as, if I am reading the site correctly, "AVG" is the last three letters of all the obverses anyway. What does it mean if it is a barbaric imitation? Report this Post to the Staff
allranger Pillar of the Community United States 1391 Posts	Posted 02/07/2015 11:05 pm The weight is 1.27 grams. It is irregular in size but approximately 11 mm. Here is the coin next to an American 1 Cent for comparison. Edited by allranger 02/07/2015 11:09 pm Report this Post to the Staff
Augustus Maximus Pillar of the Community Italy 1790 Posts	Posted 02/07/2015 11:07 pm A barbaric imitation is just a term given to Roman coins that are not official issues . So they were produced locally perhaps during a shortage of Imperial issues . Report this Post to the Staff
Augustus Maximus Pillar of the Community Italy 1790 Posts	Posted 02/07/2015 11:18 pm Certainly an AE 4 . Valentinian II certainly was a pitiful site to see , he was merely a figure head ,probably why he finally hung himself in 392. Anyway , I think Valentinian II is your best bet.
