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.

Plush rug that’s super soft. WOW!
Color: Natural (Yellow-white Ivory), Size: 6' x 7' (Natural)
Beautiful and super plush! I use it as an outer blanket when cold weather camping. Like a modern day cave man. One of my favorite purchases. I avoid kneeling on it while it’s on my mattress fearing it might split the hide, or damage the stitching. It fits my queen size camper bed. Cant say enough!

Big Investment for a Lifetime of Quality
Color: Natural (Yellow-white Ivory), Size: 2' x 3' (Natural)
Several reviews mentioned a smell lingering with the sheepskin even after being unpacked a few days. I did notice the smell when I unpacked it, but I would expect a slight odor from such an item. It was not overpowering and is completely gone after one month of having it laid out on a chest in our bedroom. It is very functional, can be sat on, knelt on, etc, but is easily brushed off and looks great! The quality is very good…someone in my family is on it every night, and we have experienced no shedding whatsoever. Although the price is a big investment initially, I believe the quality is worthy. We plan to enjoy this beautiful sheepskin for a lifetime!

Love it, but terrible smell at first
Color: Natural (Yellow-white Ivory), Size: 2' x 3' (Natural), Color: Natural (Yellow-white Ivory), Size: 2' x 3' (Natural)
Really soft & my dog loves it. I used it as a throw over my couch for decor. The smell when I took it out of the package was probably one of the worst smells I’ve ever smelled. Like old broccoli or something. I left it outside to air out all day and that was gone.

Not premium quality! I've seen actual authentic ones before.
Color: Natural (Yellow-white Ivory), Size: 2' x 3' (Natural), Color: Natural (Yellow-white Ivory), Size: 2' x 3' (Natural)
Despite all the positive reviews, I believe this product is subpar. There are genuine sheep skin Hydes but this product is NOT it. There is no leather embossing showing authenticity, and many signs of strong chemical treatment. Smell is lingering and I've aired them for over two days. Not very comfortable since the fur is very thick and coarse, you would expect it to be softer for the price as well. Not premium quality. I ordered this for my children to sleep on at long evening Church services but now I will look to more niche sellers for a higher quality product.
