Hello,
I just checked "Wildwinds" to find more information about your Valens silver siliqua. The mint mark is C dot A signifing that the coin was struck at the Constantinople mint. For the folks who don't collect Roman coins, Valens was co-emperor with his brother Valentinian I from A.D. 364-378. The coin is considered "scarce" with the C dot A mint mark configuration. Valens ruled the Eastern part of the Roman Empire and his brother the Western. They were both born in Pannonia (Austria-Hungary) and probably never actually visited the city of Rome.
Great finds! The other pieces you found with this siliqua are very desirable as well.
Thanks for sharing,
wagbert

Looks like a really great day to me. Dad & I are still on '0' Roman Silver this year, way behind the normal drag curve, but we are not worried yet:thumbsup:

Wow,great stuff!That Valens is superb and worth some$$.Valens perished with most of his army in a battle with the Goths in 378AD,that led to a decline and eventual fall of the Western Roman Empire.
