Honorius, AD 393-423

I’ve had this coin packed away for over 6 years. Amazing detail but slightly on the dark side.

One of the worst emperors of rome but at least his coinage wasnt the worst . Here two reverse types missing yet:
Emperor Honorius - GLORIA ROMANORVM (Emperor riding) - Antioch mint

Emperor Honorius - GLORIA ROMANORVM (Two emperors) - Cyzikus mint

 

That's a good point about his coinage. After Honorius and Arcadius things really go south in terms of coin fabric and size.

 

I got this one from Frank Robinson way back in 1991!


Here's the essential VRBS ROMA FELIX type, issued 404-408:


The last AE3/centenionalis issued in the west - GLORIA ROMANORVM, Rome mint, c. 410:


After that, only grotty AE4's like this one, Rome mint again:


Going back to the east, here's a three emperor (Antioch) to complement @wittwolf's 2 emperor reverse:

 

Here's a scruffy AE2 that we haven't seen yet:
