| Beschrijving keerzijde | Victory advancing left, draped, holding a trophy over her right shoulder and dragging a kneeling captive by the hair with her left hand. The scene typifies late Roman imperial iconography celebrating military dominion over barbarian foes. The encircling legend reads SALVS REIPVBLICAE, meaning 'the salvation of the state.' A chi-rho Christogram appears in the upper field. The mint mark SMNA in the exergue identifies the Nicomedia mint, first officina. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
The SALVS REIPVBLICAE coinage was introduced following the catastrophe at Adrianople in 378 AD, where Valens died and the eastern army was shattered by the Visigoths. Theodosius, recalled from retirement in Spain to salvage the eastern empire, needed a high-volume, low-cost bronze issue to pay troops and restore administrative confidence. The Nicomedia mint — one of the busiest in the east — ran this type across the full span of his reign.
RIC IX 45b is among the more frequently encountered varieties from this series, which ran to enormous volumes across multiple eastern mints. The sheer quantity struck means survivors are common; condition, not rarity, drives value here.
