Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Nummus - Valentinianus I coin is that it features the first use of the "GLORIA ROMANORVM" (Glory of the Romans) legend on a Roman coin, which was a new imperial title adopted by Emperor Valentinianus I in 364 AD. This title was used to emphasize the power and prestige of the Roman Empire, and it became a common feature on Roman coins for centuries to come.
