Roman Bronze AE4 Of Valentinian III (about 1,570-1,600 years ago)

Sale Price:$81.93 Original Price:$81.93
sale

This small bronze coin was minted during the long but troubled reign of Valentinian III, one of the last emperors of the Western Roman Empire. These small denomination coins would have been used for everyday transactions by common people throughout the increasingly unstable western provinces.

Coin Description:

  • Front side: Profile portrait of Valentinian III wearing an imperial diadem, with his name and titles in Latin around the edge

  • Back side: Likely displays common 5th-century imperial imagery such as victory figures, military standards, or Christian symbols

Technical Details:

  • Bronze composition (copper alloy)

  • AE4 denomination (smallest standard bronze coin)

  • NGC certified (Numismatic Guaranty Corporation)

  • Minted between 425-455 CE in various western imperial mints

  • Condition: Certified by NGC, specific grade not provided

Historical Significance: This coin represents the final decades of the Western Roman Empire as it struggled against both internal conflicts and external invasions. Valentinian III, elevated to the throne as a child, never exercised effective control over his realm. His reign saw the loss of North Africa to the Vandals, devastating invasions by Attila the Hun, and the increasing power of military commanders like Aetius and Ricimer. His assassination in 455 CE accelerated the Western Empire's collapse, which would occur just two decades later.

Valentinian III (Latin: Placidus Valentinianus; 2 July 419 – 16 March 455) was Roman emperor in the West from 425 to 455. Starting in childhood, his reign over the Roman Empire was one of the longest, but was dominated by civil wars among powerful generals and the barbarian invasions.

He was the son of Galla Placidia and Constantius III, and as the great-grandson of Valentinian I (r. 364–375) he was the last emperor of the Valentinianic dynasty. As a grandson of Theodosius I (r. 379–395), Valentinian was also a member of the Theodosian dynasty, to which his wife, Licinia Eudoxia, also belonged. A year before assuming the rank of augustus, Valentinian was given the imperial rank of caesar by his half-cousin and co-emperor Theodosius II (r. 402–450). The augusta Galla Placidia had great influence during her son's rule, as did the military commander Flavius Aetius, who defended the western empire against Germanic and Hunnic invasions. Attila the Hun repeatedly menaced Valentinian's domains, being repulsed by a coalition under Aetius's leadership at the Battle of the Catalaunian Plains and calling off a subsequent invasion after negotiations led by Pope Leo I.
