VALENTINIAN IST COINS
Flavius Valentinianus was born A.D. 321 in Pannonia. He held important military commands under Julian and Jovian and on the death of the latter in February, 364, Valentinian was elected Emperor by the troops at Nicaea. A few weeks after, he elected his brother Valens emperor, and assigned him the East. In 375 he went to Carnuntum, on the Danube, in order to repel the Quadi and Sarmatians, who had invaded Pannonia. While giving an audience to the deputies of the Quadi, he fell down in a fit, and expired suddenly on the 17th of November.
