| Aanvullende informatie |
Valentinian II was eleven years old when this coin was struck in his name — elevated to co-emperor by his half-brother Gratian in the immediate chaos following the death of Valentinian I in 375. The VRBS ROMA reverse type, invoking the eternal city, was a deliberate ideological choice at a moment when the western court was genuinely unstable and the boy emperor's authority needed every symbolic prop available. Within months of this issue's upper date, Adrianople fell and Valens was dead in the field.
