Valens, 28 March 364 - 9 August 378 A.D.
|Valens|, |Valens,| |28| |March| |364| |-| |9| |August| |378| |A.D.|, In England, where many siliquae are found clipped, silver Roman coins apparently continued to circulate long after the Empire abandoned the island. Clipping may not have been primarily intended to deviously obtain a little silver. Clipping may have actually been performed primarily to make the weight and value equivalent to contemporary coins in the medieval period.
