Roman Bronze Coin, Slabbed and Graded
Flavius Valentinianus, known in English as Valentinian I or Valentinian the Great, (321 – November 17, 375) was Roman Emperor with his brother Valens from 364 until his death in 375. He was the last emperor to have de facto control of the entire empire. During his reign, Valentinian fought the Alamanni, Quadi, and Sarmatians with success. Most notable was his victory over the Alamanni in 367 at the Battle of Solicinium. His brilliant general Count Theodosius defeated a revolt in Africa and the Great Conspiracy, a coordinated assault on Britain by Picts, Scots, and Saxons. Valentinian was also the last emperor to conduct campaigns across the Rhine and Danube rivers. He rebuilt and improved the fortifications along the frontiers – even building fortresses in enemy territory. Due to the successful nature of his reign and almost immediate decline of the empire after his death, he is often considered the "last great western emperor". He founded the Valentinian Dynasty, with his sons Gratian and Valentinian II succeeding him in the western half of the empire.
