A personification of Victory stands at the stern, guiding the vessel by the rudder, symbolizing divine favour and Roman naval supremacy. The reverse legend GLORIA ROMANORVM celebrates the glory of the Romans, with the mint mark T ANTB appearing in the exergue, indicating the second officina of the Antioch mint. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Valentinian II was twelve years old when elevated to co-emperor in 375, a dynastic maneuver by the army following his father Valentinian I's sudden death from a burst blood vessel while shouting at a Quadic delegation. For most of his reign he was emperor in name only, dominated first by his mother Justina and then by the Frankish general Arbogast, who would eventually order — or at minimum enable — his murder in 392.
The Antioch mint was operating under considerable administrative pressure during this window, producing for multiple co-emperors simultaneously. RIC IX 59b places this piece within a tightly sequenced group distinguished by officina letter.
