<p>[QUOTE=&quot;furryfrog02, post: 8000349, member: 41219&quot;]Tonight&#039;s post has to do with Theodosius and his immediate family. No, not CT&#039;s very own [USER=77077]@Theodosius[/USER] but rather Theodosius I. In my opinion, Theodosius I was one of the last &quot;great&quot; late Roman emperors and his dynasty did pretty well, producing 5 emperors over the span of 78 years (379-457 AD).</p><p><br /></p><p>I have managed to round out the immediate family (at least as far as what is affordable to me) tonight with the addition of Theodosius&#039; wife, Aelia Flaccilla. I&#039;ve been trying to add more women to the FF collection at the behest of my daughter and this coin was a no-brainer since it fulfilled both her request and also a love of mine; anything related to Victory. The fact that it was affordable also helped <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie7" alt=":p" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>Without further ado, here is our set of Theodosian family coin. We&#039;d love to see your favorites and if you can round out the rest of the dynasty, that&#039;d be great too!</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1387965[/ATTACH] </p><p>Theodosius I</p><p>378-383 AD</p><p>AE2</p><p>Constantinople Mint</p><p>Obverse: DN THEODO-SIVS PF AVG, helmeted, pearl-diademed, draped, cuirassed bust right, holding spear and shield</p><p>Reverse: GLORIA ROMANORVM, Emperor standing facing, head right on galley, raising right hand; Victory at helm.
