| Reversbeschreibung | The emperor Valentinian III stands facing, draped and cuirassed, holding a long cross in his right hand and a globus surmounted by Victory in his left hand. His right foot is placed upon the head of a human-headed, coiled serpent, symbolizing the triumph of Christian imperial authority over evil. The mintmark R-V appears divided across the fields, denoting the Ravenna mint, while COMOB in the exergue identifies the gold standard of the solidus. The surrounding legend VICTORIA AVGGG proclaims the victory of the three Augusti. |

| Zusätzliche Informationen |
Valentinian III was only six years old when these solidi began striking at Ravenna, with real power held by his mother Galla Placidia and, increasingly, the generalissimo Aetius. Ravenna had been the western capital since Honorius retreated there in 402, choosing its marshes over Rome's exposed position — a calculation that defined where this coin was made.
RIC X 2011 falls within a period when the western mint was already struggling to maintain output against mounting fiscal pressure from Visigothic settlement costs and Vandal disruption of North African grain and tax revenues.
