Witness the final century of the Western Roman Empire through the coins of the men who struggled to hold it together.
This compact, beautifully presented mini-album contains four genuine Roman bronze coins, each struck during the reign of one of the last Western emperors: Valens, Gratian, Valentinian II, and Theodosius I. These rulers governed during a time of upheaval—when borders shifted, armies rebelled, new Christian traditions reshaped society, and the empire’s old foundations cracked under growing pressure.
Each coin is a real artifact of this turning point in world history. Held together, they form a clear narrative:
Valens, fighting to defend the Danube frontier.
Gratian, attempting to restore stability in a fractured world.
Valentinian II, a young emperor pulled between powerful generals and rising religious tensions.
Theodosius I, the last man to rule a united Roman Empire before the West began its final descent.
Perfect for new collectors and history enthusiasts alike, this mini-album offers a hands-on journey into the last decades of the Roman West—an elegant, affordable way to own a piece of the empire’s dramatic end.
