		Valentinian was married to Licinia Eudoxia, the only surviving child of Theodosius II, leaving it in his power to decide if he wanted to rule alone or appoint another eastern emperor.
		Valentinian III in the west though at first refused to recognize the accession of the eastern throne by Marcian, but later accepted the decision.

		Trouble was though that Constantius III wasn't long for this world and died within a matter of months.

		Therefore, when Valentinian III went to Constantinople to get married it can be concluded that he brought with him a travel mint to supply the necessary coinage for his trip.
		During the honeymoon it became necessary to strike additional coins (beyond what he brought with him and the marriage solidi that he had struck) and the die sinker took a Ravenna die and recut a 'T' and 'S' into the fields to represent that they were struck in Thessalonica.
		Currently, this is the only know example and since it shares the same obverse die as the Valentinian III marriage solidi, the output must have been extremely limited.
