This coin is not in very great shape, but it is fairly rare.
GLORIA ROMANORVM Emperor standing right, head left, his right hand on the head of a kneeling captive, his left hand extended over a kneeling suppliant
It was issued from Rome, Aquileia and Siscia.
The seller has a ridiculous opening bid of $99.00, with a buy it now of $355. It does however come with another coin, a shabby SPES REIPVBLICE.
I just got a small group of coins today and the seller tossed this one in as a freebie. Unfortunately I can't make out the mint, but it is in great shape.
here's another example
Honorius
A.D. 395
14mm 2.4gm
DN HONORI-VS PF AVG; pearl diademed, draped and cuirassed bust right.
GLORIA RO-MANORVM; Emperor standing right, head left, his right hand on the head of a kneeling captive, his left hand extended over a kneeling suppliant.
Indeterminate mint
Here's another example, it looks like RIC X Rome 1355
