I'm still working my way through the cleaning of the kilo of late Romans I got from the Balkans. Most turn out to be rather pitted junk, but I'm quite pleased with the one I finished tonight. It is 16 mm. Can't give the weight, since my bathroom scale doesn't do grams. It has a very high silver content, just by the color, and it feels heavy for the size. I think I read Valens, and the banner on the reverse has a Chi Rho. But I don't get the mint. Can you give me a more precise ID? I thank you all for all your great help in the past!
Valens. (I like to think of him as Valentine's idiot brother...) Reverse is GLORIA ROMANORVM. Might be SMK (Cyzicus) with an officina letter below the peg leg.
