I think it is:

Valens
DN VALEN-S PF AVG
SECVRITAS-REIPVBLICAE   wreath and palm branch   
in ex.: SMAQP, Aquilea
RIC IX Aquileia 9b, type vii(a)
common.

By the way for such coins I recommend Helveticas RIC-Lists as a fast and reliable means of identifying:

in fact i think its arcadius AE4 salvs reipvblicae type with victory dragging captive by the hair to left and cross monogram in left field.
i think i can see the DNA.. at the beginning so id go with arcadius.
