AE3, Flavius Valentinianus II, AD 375 - 392

   

Flavius Valentinianus II, half-brother of Gratian, was made Augustus in AD 375 and was responsible for affairs in the West, after the fall of Maximus in AD 388, Valentinian took charge of Gaul. In AD 392 he was assassinated by orders of the German general Arbogast.
