EASTERN ROMAN EMPIRE


Valens - Roman Emperor
364-378 A.D.

Bronze Nummus

Obverse:  Diademed, draped and
cuirassed bust right.

Reverse: Valens dragging captive right, holding labarum tipped with a Chi-Rho,
branch.

The labarum was a vexillum (military
standard) that displayed the "Chi-Rho" symbol ☧, a christogram formed from the
first two Greek letters of the word "Christ"- Chi (χ) and Rho (ρ). It was first
used by the Roman emperor Constantine I. Since the vexillum consisted of a flag
suspended from the crossbar of a cross, it was ideally suited to symbolize the
crucifixion of Christ.

The Chi Rho is one of the earliest forms of
christogram, and is used by some Christians. It is formed by superimposing the
first two (capital) letters chi and rho (ΧΡ) of the Greek word "ΧΡΙΣΤΟΣ" =
KRistos = Christ in such a way to produce the monogram. Although not technically
a Christian cross, the Chi-Rho invokes the authority of Jesus, as well as
symbolising his status as the Christ.



The Chi-Rho symbol was also used by pagan Greek scribes to mark, in the margin,
a particularly valuable or relevant passage; the combined letters Chi and Rho
standing for chrēston, meaning "good." Some coins of Ptolemy III Euergetes (r.
246-222 BC) were marked with a Chi-Rho.The Chi-Rho symbol was used by the Roman
emperor Constantine I (r. 306-337) as part of a military standard (vexillum),
Constantine's standard was known as the Labarum





Valens - Roman Emperor: 364-378 A.D.

Ruling in the West: Valentinian I (364-375), Gratian (367-383), and Valentinian
II (375-392)



| Brother of Valentinian I | Uncle of Gratian, Valentinian II and Galla (wife of
Theodosius I) |



Flavius Julius Valens (Latin: FLAVIUS IVLIVS VALENS AVGVSTVS; 328 - 9 August
378) was Roman Emperor (364-378), after he was given the Eastern part of the
empire by his brother Valentinian I. Valens, sometimes known as the Last True
Roman, was defeated and killed in the Battle of Adrianople, which marked the
beginning of the fall of the Western Roman Empire.

My new favorite watch. Simple home improvement needed
Color: all black watch mens, Color: all black watch mens
Despite having many reknown brand watches in my collection, these inexpensive Olevs watches are now my favorite. They look nice, cost practically nothing and so far are very accurate (10 day review). Little to worry about if lost or damaged. PROS: 1. Inexpensive $40/each. 2. As stylish as other fashion watches 5x-10x more expensive. 3. Watch Crystal (i.e., glass) has a unique, faceted shape, which reflects light, feels "Manly" and matches faceted bezel. 4. Light weight and slim case; fits small wrists nicely (I have 6.4" wrists). 5. Accurate - two watches tracked over 10 days. Watch one: -7 seconds/10 days. Watch two: +2 seconds/10 days. 6. Illuminescent (i.e., glow-in-the-dark) hands and watch face look decent in dark. CONS: 7. Lightweight and cheap material - durability is questionable, especially coatings. 8. Bracelet/band links have excessive gaps to each other and rattle badly, making watch noisy and embarrassing. *Home fix* 9. Faceted Crystal can make it difficult to see exact time, because of light reflection. 10. Single clasp on bracelet could easily open inadvertently, vs double clasp. 11. Crown is not threaded and spins freely, even when closed (doesn't change time); likely poor water proofing and crown can easily open. 12. Difficult to set time accurately; crown movement is figity and closing crown can cause hands to easily move. 13. Second hand doesn't exactly line up with tick marks making it difficult to know if actual time is before, or after tick mark. *AT HOME FIX*: To fix the noisy bracelet, simply cut to length a piece of waterproof medical tape 15-16mm (5/8") wide, then attach to inside of clean bracelet, while spreading the links apart with your finger (i.e., stretch band). Do this on each bracelet, but don't cover clasp. Tape will need to be replaced, as it gets dirty, but it makes watch quiet. - Watch dimensions for collectors - A) Case Diameter (to Crown): 44mm B) Case Diameter: 42mm C) Lug-to-Lug length: 50.5mm D) Case Thickness (Top of Crystal): 12.6mm E) Strap/Bracelet Width at Case: 20mm F) Strap/Bracelet Width at Clasp: 18mm G) Weight 6.4" wrist size: 100g (3.5oz)

It's a watch
Color: blue watch for men
Not a bad watch. Cheap, looks good and works. Take it to your local jeweler and they can pop the links out in no time.

Nice But Overpaid
Color: Black Embossed
Very happy about the purchase. The style is great, size is perfect, and the leather is really nice. When I unpacked it, the MSRP ticket was inside showing the cost of $125, but I paid $150. Not so happy about that part.
