Photos of a clay mold of reverse / reverse coming from: https://www.treshorsdutemps.fr/.

No specific information on weight or diameter provided. According to my sources, the diameter of this mold is around 30.00 mm. It is impossible to read the mark on the reverse of the ''standing emperor and captive'' type. The photos communicated by https://www.treshorsdutemps.fr/, show 5 molds, here is the list:

- Two copies: obverse with portrait of Gratianus / reverse GLORIA ROMANORVM.

- One copy: obverse with portrait of Valentinianus II / obverse with portrait of Arcadius.

- One copy: reverse GLORIA ROMANORVM (emperor with labarum and captive) / GLORIA ROMANORVM (emperor on galley). This copy illustrated.

- One copy: reverse GLORIA ROMANORVM (emperor on galley) / reverse GLORIA ROMANORVM (emperor on galley).

We can therefore reasonably think that these molds come from the same find and that it is very likely that their obverse are those belonging to Gratianus. Possibility also for Valentinianus II and Arcadius.
