Roman coin

[FindsBuddy]

Hi, this is my today find,
I dig out this roman coin from 350 b.c.
Bad conditions but considering it have about 1600 years I cannot ask for more.

Very happy, one of my most important find.

Reverse appears to be: Emperor right, dragging captive, head turned back and holding labarum with chi-rho in left.
(One of the commonest Roman coin types of all)
The date would be in the ADs not BCs.

Others here in Treasurenet, can give you a better attrition once they see your coin.
Of course, if it could be cleaned up a little more, the ID may become more apparent.
Buona fortuna,
Don.

Yeah it looks the same. It could be a ae3 valens. Good find!

Nice find

Many emperors used the same or very similar reverse, including Valens, Valentian I, Theodosius I, Arcadius, Constans, Constantine II and Julianus; no doubt even more. Specific ID of 'your' emperor may be a challenge. The image on the reverse is called: GLORIAROMANORVM and can be researced in that manner.
Buona fortuna,
Don.

Gratian is also an option, but in this case, we can narrow it to Valens or Valentian I. Valens being the strongest candidate.
