The Valentinianus piece, also the heavy Magnus Maximus piece.  Must be a miliarense. Very nice, all of them including the siliqua of FDR (didn't know he issued those)

You are correct. Thats a miliarense. However the most scarce coin there is the Theodosius I from Thessaloniki. @Victor ClarkCan shed some light on this one.

RIC doesn’t list any siliqua with this mintmark for Theodosius I, but it is listed for other rulers—Valens, Gratian and Valentinian II. It was probably struck circa 383, which was close to his 5 year anniversary and around the last time this mintmark was used.
