Hello,
Very interesting
Siliqua. The
mint mark (
LVDP) is not unknown for me : there is another similar "Irregular" found last year in
England (see PAS research website). I
had record in my database and I give you the picture I found on the PAS web site :
VALENTINIAN I (364-375) for
LYONSilique lourde, 364-375
A/
D N VALENT-INIANVS AV (N et V ligaturés)
Buste à droite, diadémé (Perles), drapé et
cuirassé.
R/
VOT/X/MVL/XX//LVDPLégende en 4 lignes dans une couronne de lauriers fermée.

Comments :
Imitation d'époque. Exemplaire unique.

This is not the same irregular because
legend on observe : DN VALENTI-NIAVS PF AVG (May be -NIANVS with
ligature on N et V) , the second is DN VALENTI-NIANVS PF AVG
But the two engravers a probably the same (or the same
mint) because the design of letters an profils.
