| Beschrijving voorzijde | Right-facing bust of Emperor Gratian, rendered with characteristic late Roman imperial portraiture: the emperor is pearl-diademed, draped in an imperial paludamentum, and cuirassed. The effigy displays finely detailed hair arranged in tight rows of curls at the brow and temples, with a naturalistic facial profile. The obverse legend encircles the bust in Latin capital letters, identifying the emperor with his full titulature. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Gratian's reign at Trier coincided with one of the most catastrophic moments in Roman military history: the Battle of Adrianople in August 378, where the Visigothic forces of Fritigern destroyed a Roman army and killed the emperor Valens. These solidi, struck in the years immediately preceding that disaster, were the coins circulating in the imperial treasury when the news arrived. Trier remained the primary western mint for gold under Gratian, supplying the Rhine frontier armies directly.
