<p>[QUOTE=&quot;ValiantKnight, post: 2010083, member: 44210&quot;]A very good example of the type John! I have a decent Arcadius and an ok Theo II of this type but not Honorius.</p><p><br /></p><p>I happen to have a scarce bronze type of Honorius from near the time of the 410 AD sack. The VRBS ROMA FELIX was struck at Rome (and a small amount at Aquileia), from 404-408 AD. I find it interesting (if the dates are correct) that the end of minting of this type, celebrating &quot;the happy city of Rome&quot;, coincided with the first blockade of Rome by Alaric and his Visigoths. With this in mind I think it&#039;s pretty obvious why the mint decided to axe this coin type.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i1197.photobucket.com/albums/aa429/LurkingNinja/VrbsRoma1_zps74e49df1.png" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i1197.photobucket.com/albums/aa429/LurkingNinja/VrbsRoma2_zps39633ee9.png" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i1197.photobucket.com/albums/aa429/LurkingNinja/Honorius2_zps6d8e7e41.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
