| Beschrijving voorzijde | Right-facing bust of Emperor Valentinian I, adorned with an elaborate rosette diadem composed of clustered beaded ornaments, the hair rendered in finely striated parallel waves swept back from the brow. The emperor is depicted draped and cuirassed, with the paludamentum fastened at the right shoulder by a jewelled fibula and the cuirass shoulder-guards visible beneath. The portrait is executed in the refined, slightly idealised court style characteristic of Constantinopolitan solidus coinage of the 360s–370s. The obverse legend D N VALENTINI-ANVS P F AVG circles the bust, reading clockwise from the lower left. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Valentinian I came to power in 364 AD through a military election at Nicaea, immediately splitting the empire with his brother Valens — a division that would prove permanent in practice if not in law. His western court moved frequently between Mediolanum, Trier, and Sirmium as he fought on the Rhine and Danube frontiers with a relentlessness his successors could not sustain. The Constantinople mint continued striking in his name throughout this period despite his never actually governing from that city.
RIC IX 25a is a western emperor's coin struck in the east — a detail the reference number quietly contains.
