    Theodosius was indeed the last emperor of the entire Roman empire, West and East.

    Great looking siliqua. Here's the nicest Arcadius I have. The back is pretty rough (but better in hand), but I'm very fond of the portrait:

    Arcadius, AE3 (18mm)
    Obv: DN ARCADIVS PF AVG, helmeted, rosette bust facing, cuirassed, spear in r. hand, shield with cross in left
    Rev: CONCORDIA AVGGG, Constantinopolis seated facing, foot on prow, holding Victory and scepter
    Antioch mint (ANTΓ), struck 401-403 AD
    RIC X 98

    I don't have a siliqua.

    How about a silly-Q, instead?
