Antioch mint. D N VALENS PEP (sic) F AVG, pearl-diademed, draped and cuirassed bust right / RESTITVTOR REIPVBLICAE, Valens standing facing, head right, holding labarum and Victory on globe; ANTI•. RIC IX 2c, xv.3; Depeyrot 27/3 . Near VF, probably ex jewelry. 720128 Valens, brother of Valentinian I, ruled the East with a heavy hand. Unlike his brother, who had a tolerant religious policy, Valens was a zealous Arian Christian who persecuted Catholics. As long as his brother handled military affairs, the Empire remained stable. Valens even managed, through strict austerity measures, to reduce taxation somewhat. After Valentinian I’s death, Valens made a catastrophic error by first allowing a huge migration of Goths to enter Imperial territory, then allowing Roman officials to treat them abominably enough to provoke an open revolt. Valens moved against the Visigoths with his army, encountering their main encampment near Adrianople on the Danube. Refusing to wait for reinforcements, he attacked, and his atrocious tactics led to the worst Roman defeat since Cannae a half-millenium before. Valens' body was never found. Authenticity unconditionally guaranteed - 14 day return privilege for any reason. CNG accepts for payment: check, money order or credit card (Visa, MasterCard, American Express).
