Valentinian I. AD 364-375. AV Solidus (21mm, 4.29 g, 6h). Antioch mint, 2nd officina. Struck AD 364-367. Pearl-diademed, draped, and cuirassed bust right / Valentinian standing slightly left, head right, holding labarum-with-cross and crowning Victory on globe; cross to left; •ANTB*. RIC IX 2a var. (mintmark); Depeyrot 20/1 var. (same). Good VF, holed twice for mounting. The mintmark configuration of "(cross)/-//(pellet)ANTA(star), along with a cross on the labarum" is unlisted in RIC, though it appears that it may be a transitional issue between the marks listed on p. 271 as xxxiii and xxxiv. Very rare.
