    Weighing 2.2 g. and measuring around 14 mm, this bronze coin of Emperor Honorius has VRBS RO-MA Felix on reverse which shows Roma standing right holding Victory who is holding a wreath. The coin was struck in Rome and is listed as RIC IX 67 f and Cohen72. But as such, it has OF- Epsilon across fields. Mine has OF- S across fields. Would that be different enough and rather scarce? Thanks for your comments.. HonorSm O.jpg HonoSm R.jpg

    I have been tempted by gold coins of Honorius. I have not bought one yet...
    Interesting coin.

    i don't know about the rarity 7C, but it's a cool little coin.
    one of these, as well as the reverse type with the three emperors (honorius, theodosius ii, and arcadius) are pretty high on my list.

    I need a Honorius & Theodosius ii myself. Nice one.

    Well, I'm unable to answer your question '7-C', but I just posted my Honorius on another thread, so I might as well here too---A Siliqua minted in Milan:
