Romano-Gallic Empire, Marius, May - August or September 269 A.D.
This coin is from the 2013 South Petherton Somerset Hoard. On Wednesday 13 November 2013, amateur archaeologist George Hughes was investigating some farm land near South Petherton in South Somerset, England, when he discovered a hoard of 7565 coins. Much of the hoard was acquired by the British Museum and the Somerset County Museum but some of the coins, including this one, were returned to the finder. The coins, which were almost all antoniniani, had been in the ground since 274, when they were buried in a bag during the fall of the Gallic Empire. More than 3000 of the coins were issued by Victorinus; only 81 of the coins in the hoard were issued by Marius. RA98503.

Constantine the Great, Early 307 - 22 May 337 A.D.
RIC describes this coin as an AE Folles (or AE3), however, this series coincides with other series from other mints, where Constantine introduced a billon argenteus denomination. Both the AE3 module and AR argenteus will be listed under the same RIC number, even though this issue begins this reverse type and was actually minted in 310 - 313 and should have appeared in RIC VI with the other billon argentei issues of Licinius I and Maximinus II.
This example appears to have a higher silver content and is not grainy like many examples of this type. RS53613. Billon argenteus, RIC VI -, RIC VII Trier 208a (R3), Cohen VII 643 (3 Fr.), gF, weight 3.469 g, maximum diameter 17.2 mm, die axis 180o, 1st officina, Treveri (Trier, Germany) mint, 310 - 313 A.D.; obverse IMP CONSTANTINVS AVG, helmeted, draped and cuirassed bust left, spear in right over shoulder, mappa in left; reverse VICTORIAE LAETAE PRINC PERP (Joyous victory to the eternal Prince), two Victories standing confronted, together holding between them a shield inscribed VOT P R in two lines, PTR in exergue; very rare; SOLD
Galerius, 1 March 305 - 5 May 311 A.D.
The argenteus was a Roman silver coin minted from the time of Diocletian's coinage reform in 294 to c. 310. It was of similar weight and fineness as the denarius of the time of Nero. The coin was struck at a theoretical weight of 1/96th of a Roman pound (about 3 grams), as indicated by the Roman numeral XCVI on the reverse of some examples. Argenteus, meaning "of silver" in Latin, was first used in Pliny's Natural History in the phrase "argenteus nummus" (silver coin). The 4th-century historian Ammianus uses the same phrase, however there is no indication that this is the official name for a denomination.SH90558.

Constantine the Great, Early 307 - 22 May 337 A.D.
Although Ares was viewed by the Greeks primarily as destructive and destabilizing, worthy of contempt and revulsion, for the Romans, Mars was a father (pater) of the Roman people. He was the father of Romulus and Remus, the legendary founders of Rome. In early Rome, he was second in importance only to Jupiter, and the most prominent of the military gods in the religion of the Roman army. Most of his festivals were held in March, the month named for him (Latin Martius), and in October, which began and ended the season for military campaigning and farming.SH40925.

Valens, 28 March 364 - 9 August 378 A.D.
Valens was the younger brother of Valentinian I, and he was declared Augustus in 364 A.D. He was given command of the Eastern provinces, where he spent much of his time campaigning against the Goths and Persians. In 376 A.D., Valens allowed Gothic tribes, who were being driven forward by the Huns to settle in the Danube provinces. The Goths were so badly treated by the Romans that they rebelled. Valens was defeated by the Goths at the catastrophic battle of Hadrianople, where he lost his life and two-thirds of the Roman army was killed.SH51610.
