    Here's another old coin that was among the things I inherited. It's rather worn. Does anyone have an idea what it is?

    This is a coin of emperor Honorius, Western Roman emperor from 395-423 AD. The obverse legend is DN HONORIVS PF AVG. The reverse legend is GLORIA ROMANORVM - it's the emperor standing, holding a standard and globe. Under the standing emperor are the letters ANT, which are said to be in exergue. This is the mint mark of Antioch.

    Thank you.

    Was this a fairly common coin?
