Title: Re: Found a roman @ monmouth :) Post by: probono on September 01, 2014, 08:36:35 AM I'd buy that for an id - apart from the date - should be more like 370AD :) - you would also have to say (unless it's very clear on the bust side so you can read it) that is should be 'house of Valentinian' - as several of his family members also issues coins with this reverese
