Ancients: Guess the Ruler

So I thought that we could revamp this old game; considering that we all have gained experience and knowledge about coins since 17 Jun 2014.
Same rules as before still apply.
I'll make this one easy

@David@PCC
It's your turn to post a coin.

 

That's a good one. Is it Arcadius?

 

No sorry.

 

I best let someone else have a shot a guessing it then.
Cheers!

 

I posted without looking at the rules first. No 2nd guess within 24 hours, any other rules?

 

it sure looks like a late roman guy, i thought arcadius also.

so, how about honorius?

 

no sorry. I think this a hard one, when can I give hints?

 

You can give em now if you want.

 

Yes it is Roman. Eastern Empire.

 

I'll guess again tomorrow morning and let someone else try to get it.
Best

 

Hmm, I wonder if we're barking up the wrong gender tree.

Perhaps it's a woman. Verina? (yeah yeah yeah, rare... but I don't know the poster. Maybe he stockpiles rarities )

I have trouble identifying (or even naming) the late emperors. Hard to tell male from female too.

 

Wrong on both counts, sorry.
I also took it off my site as to not give it away.

 

Wild guess... Marcian?

 

No but getting closer. Try one that reigned twice.

 

Emperor Zeno

 

YES the Z man.
