| Beschrijving keerzijde | The reverse depicts the emperor advancing to the right, grasping a kneeling captive by the hair with his right hand and holding a military standard — occasionally rendered as a labarum — in his left hand. The composition conveys the familiar late Roman imperial iconography of Roman dominion over barbarian enemies. The legend GLORIA ROMANORVM is divided across the field, flanking the central figural group. The exergue contains the mint mark and officina letter identifying the Cyzicus mint. The overall design is typical of the GLORIA ROMANORVM type issued for Valens across multiple eastern mints during 364–367. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Valens received the eastern half of the empire from his brother Valentinian I in 364, a division made within weeks of Valentinian's own accession — the arrangement was pragmatic, not ceremonial, driven by the immediate pressure of barbarian incursions on multiple frontiers simultaneously. The Cyzicus mint, one of the most productive in the eastern empire, was brought back to full operation specifically to supply the new Valentinianic administration with coinage. RIC IX 8b is distinguished from the closely related 8a by its officina letter and reverse field marks, details that matter for attribution but reflect nothing more dramatic than routine workshop rotation at the mint.
