| Reverse description | The emperor Valentinian II depicted standing in three-quarter view to the right, clad in military attire, holding a labarum (Chi-Rho standard) in his right hand and a globus (orb) in his left, with his right foot resting upon a seated or prostrate captive enemy figure, symbolizing Roman military supremacy. The composition is characteristic of late Roman imperial reverse iconography emphasizing virtus and dominion. The divided reverse legend VIRTVS E-XERCITI flanks the central figure in the field. The mintmark SMNB, denoting the second officina of the Nicomedia mint, appears in the exergue. |
