Type 72:  AE4 (12 mm).  VOT / XX  in wreath
434-435  [RIC, p. 173]   444  [DO, p. 239]

[no photo]

Only for Valentinian III.
RIC 2129-2130 "AE3 [sic]" (but only 12 mm) "R" and "S" for Valentinian III from Rome "second period", plate 53 (two photos), page 378. Also, RIC 2136 "R3" from Rome "third period" page 378, no photo. "The mintmarks, RPM or a simple officina number, suggest that this type interrupts the VOT PVB series. It probably dates to 434-5, and is not uncommon." [RIC p. 173.]
Note that type 77, with "XV" has a photo where the "V" might almost be an "X". I'm not convinced that type 73 is different.
