Description: | A late Roman copper alloy nummus that has been pierced and perhaps used as a pendant. This practice is often attributed to the early Anglo-Saxon period. The piercing is done just in front of the emperors eyes on the obverse, which on the reverse is to the lower right of Victory. The coin is a nummus of Valens, as follows:Obverse: Unclear diademed and draped bust right; [DN VA]LEN[S PF AVG]Reverse: Victory advancing left, holding wreath and palm (SECVRITAS REIPVBLICAE)Illegible mint, struck AD364-78. | Publisher: | http://finds.org.uk | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Identifier: | http://finds.org.uk/database/artefacts/r... | Go to resource |
