Siliqua - Valentinianus II VIRTVS ROMANORVM, Treveri

Valentinian II's siliquae from Treveri (modern Trier) were struck during one of the most politically unstable stretches of the late Western Empire. By 388, the young emperor had already been expelled from Italy by Magnus Maximus and restored only through Theodosius I's military intervention. The Trier mint, one of the most productive in the West, continued striking silver through this period despite the city having served as Maximus's own capital just months prior.

Valentinian II died at Vienne in 392 under circumstances still debated — officially suicide, though contemporaries suspected his general Arbogast.
