Out of three empresses with the same name, this one is believed to be the wife of Theodosius. Mint: Antioch 398-4901 AD.Can this be confirmed?
Looks right. Eudoxia (400 - 404 A.D.) Æ3 O: AEL EVDOXIA AVG, pearl-diademed and draped bust right, crowned with wreath by the Hand of God above. R: GLORIA ROMANORVM, empress seated facing on throne, hands folded, being crowned by manus Dei, cross right. SMKA in exergue.

Can be a bit confusing! I was looking at Wiki's list of Empresses, they called the OP Aelia Licinia Eudocia wife of Theodosius II... Mine is the Wife of Arcadius... unless it is mis-attributed... Roman Empire Aelia Eudoxia wife of Arcadius 395-401 CE AE3 2.8g 17mm crowned by hand of God Enthroned Constantinople mint RIC 79
Eudoxia was the wife of Arcadius. As for Theodosius the Great, his wife was Aelia Flaccilla. Here's the best condition I could find of Empress Eudoxia, in my possession. RIC X- 83 Antioch.
Congrats, PMONNEY => that's a sweet OP-addition (congrats) I also have a cool enough example of this fine lady ... wanna see it? Aelia Eudoxia AE3 (AE18) Man, ya gotta love the "hand of god" from above, eh? (so cool)
Ahahah ... man, I loved that show ... Flying Circus You're fricken funny (definitely one of my favs) ... we are currently getting renos in the basement (we know the guy, so we never really asked for a quote ... but now, four weeks later we're scared that we'll have to sell the house to pay for the renos!!) Ummm sure, we might as well put another hot tub over there?
Cool OP addition Here are Eudoxia, wife of Arcadius.... Eudoxia, AE4 Antioch mint, third officina [A]EL EVDOXIA AVG, diademed and draped bust right, above, hand holding wreath SALVS REIPVBLICAE, Victory seated right, inscribing christogram on shield. [ANT Gamma] at exergue 2.35 gr Ref : Roman coins # 4241 Based on the observation of another example minted with the same dies and with a visible exergue on reverse, the Antioch's third officina provenance of this coin is now certain. Thanks to Myriam at Nummus Bible II forum for her perspicacity and for providing me with the information ....and Aelia Flaccilla, wife of Theodosius I Aelia Flaccilla, AE2 Constantinople mint, 5th officina AEL FLAC CILLA, diademed and draped bust right SALVS REI PVBLICAE, Victory seated right, inscribing ChiRo on a shield. CON epsilon at exergue 4.75 gr Ref : Cohen # 4, LRBC # 2167 Q
I think so. I can make out AEL FL on the inscription from 8:00 to 10:00 on the obverse. Can't make out the mintmark, though.
