echizento Moderator United States 23731 Posts	Posted 09/19/2019 9:50 pm I'm going to say Valentinian I. Report this Post to the Staff
pilegicvs Valued Member United States 66 Posts	Posted 09/20/2019 04:45 am Could be Valentinian II from mint city of ARLES (SCON). Reverse VICTORIA AVGG? seems to show up more on his coins...Don't have RIC in front of me... Report this Post to the Staff
pendrak Valued Member United States 253 Posts	Posted 09/20/2019 6:48 pm Hi Guys- I have checked RIC and am having problems finding a VICTIR-IA AVGG for Valentinian I or II. The obverse of this coin is definitely DN VALENTINIANVS PF AVG (no spaces or dashes). Therefore, I think it originally should have been VICTOR-IA AVGGG. There is a possible star in the left field- or not. It looks like a possible SCON in the ex, but there is a lot of room and bumps in the pic. I think it is a Valentinian II. I am tossing this one back to you WalkerMo. You have the eyeballs on the coin. What do you think you see in the ex? Report this Post to the Staff
WalkerMo New Member United States 37 Posts	Posted 09/21/2019 09:56 am I don't know anything about ancient coins but would like to learn. Could you give a few pointers on what I am looking for. The star in left field- do I look for it on the side with Valentinian head or the other side? Thanks for your help! Report this Post to the Staff

pilegicvs Valued Member United States 66 Posts	Posted 09/22/2019 02:57 am I found this free download useful - the 2005 edition of E.R.I.C. (there is a later version, so the author made the first edition freely available). http://www.dirtyoldbooks.com/eric.html The second chapter is a brief introduction to Roman coins. The rest of the chapters have short summaries of the emperors, etc. Lots of color pictures... Even now, I still review to see typical coins for a given emperor ("Augustus"). The wildwinds website is also fun to browse. A good magnifying glass is also helpful to read the legends... Report this Post to the Staff
