GLOR[IA ROMA]NORV / ANTI Emperor advancing right, dragging captive with his right hand and holding labarum with his left. Cf. RIC 10 (Antioch). Minor striking weakness, otherwise, very fine.
From a collection of lead tesserae from Asia Minor.
The prototype was minted in the names of Valentinian I, Valens and Gratian. The letters in the exergue of the reverse would suggest a prototype from Antioch.
