SZ. BURGER ALICE: LATE ROMAN MONEY CIRCULATION IN SOUTH-PANNONIA / Régészeti Füzetek II/22. (Magyar Nemzeti Múzeum Budapest, 1981

2. PHASE B

I. VALENTINIAN I - VALENS B/1. A.D. 364 - 367 After the death of Jovian VALENTINIAN I, who was of Pannonian origin became the leader of the Roman Empire. Within less than a month he had taken his brother VALENS as joint Emperor. They divided the reign over the Empire in Sirmium: Valentinian I ruled over the Western, and Valens over the Eastern part. In 365 however, they had to divide their forces: Valentinian I had a battle against the Alamanni in Gaul, whereas Valens marched towards the East against the Persians. The usurpation by Procopius falls to the same period, together with the Quad-Sarmatian raids against Pannónia. Valentinian I was victorious in Gaul and Procopius was murdered. In 367 Valentinian I took his eight year old son, GRATIAN to his side as co-ruler. In the same year Valens marched against the Goths. During these four eventful years monetary circulation in Pannónia grew incredibly (Figs. 7-12. , 20. , 66). The 42 kinds of Reverse types analysed earlier in detail (PHASE A) were reduced to two main types: the type RESTITUTOR REIPUBLICAE occurs occasionally, but in the complete monetary circulation only GLORIA ROMANORUM (Figs. 28-36., 38-47), and SECURITAS REIPUBLICAE (Figs. 28-35., 37-47) occur. t 80
