Best guess for me would be Theodosius I, VIRTVS ROMANORVM reverse, Trier mint. The only other guess would be Valentinian II.

Yes Theodosius.

The mintmark could be also "AQPS" and
the plate coin in RSC V looks much like
your coin. (56 d)

I think Aquilea too, first letter seems more to be a A than a T.
So, it could be Theodosius, Valentinian (RIC #28 or 41) II but also Gratian (RIC #28), Arcadius (RIC #41) and  less obviously Arcadius (RIC #41) Flavius Victor and Magnus Maximus (RIC #54).
A few exemples (all from http://www.nummus-bible-database.com/ ):

Theodosius #28


Valentinian II #28


Gratian #28 (if you pay attention to the nose...)


Magnus Maximus #54


Flavius Victor #54
