                        ROMAN EMPIRE. Eugenius (AD 392-394). Silver light 
                        miliarensis (4.41 gm). Trier. D N EVGENI-VS P F AVG, 
                        draped, cuirassed bust right, seen from front, wearing 
                        pearl diadem / GLORIA ROMANORVM, emperor standing left, 
                        holding labarum and shield, TRPS in exergue. RIC 104 
                        (R3). Cohen 2 (300 Fr.) var. RSC 2+a, Gnecchi I, pl. 36, 
                        13 (same dies). Very rare denomination for Eugenius. 
                        Good very fine 

                        Gnecchi lists four types of miliarensis for Eugenius 
                        represented by a total of only six specimens. Gnecchi 
                        illustrates a coin from his own collection which is from 
                        the same dies as the present specimen, but he wrongly 
                        lists it (p. 82, no. 2) as though its reverse legend 
                        were VIRTVS EXERCITVS rather than GLORIA ROMANORVM. 
                        Estimated Value: $ 3,500
