    Add an authentic piece of Late Roman Imperial history to your collection with this certified Roman AE4 bronze coin struck during the reign of Emperor Valentinian II (AD 375–392).

    Valentinian II became emperor as a child and ruled during one of the Roman Empire's most politically turbulent periods. His reign witnessed conflicts with Magnus Maximus, the influence of Emperor Theodosius I, and major changes within the late Western Roman Empire.

    This genuine ancient bronze coin has been professionally authenticated and graded by NGC Ancients as Choice Extremely Fine (Ch XF), offering collectors confidence in both authenticity and preservation.

  • The son of the Valentinian I, Valentinian II was elevated to Emperor at the age of four, and never enjoyed true power. Most of the West was controlled by the usurper Magnus Maximus, and in Italy, where he lived, his mother Justina was the de facto ruler. Frankish insurgents led by Arbogast strangled to death the 21-year-old Emperor in 392. While his mother was alive, Valentinian II had sympathies for Arianism, but upon her death, he adopted Nicene Christianity as the true faith. He died before St. Ambrose could baptize him, leading Ambrose to endorse the ”baptism of desire“ in his funeral oration.
