<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Valentinian, post: 2284702, member: 44316&quot;]It is hard to find a pleasing portrait of Theodosius II (AD 402-450) in copper. Most of his copper types are poorly engraved, poorly struck, and very worn. I just extended my site on late Roman copper:</p><p><a href="http://esty.ancients.info/ricix/" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://esty.ancients.info/ricix/" rel="nofollow">http://esty.ancients.info/ricix/</a></p><p>with a page giving a &quot;type set&quot; of the coins of Theodosius.</p><p><a href="http://esty.ancients.info/ricix/TheodosiusII.html" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://esty.ancients.info/ricix/TheodosiusII.html" rel="nofollow">http://esty.ancients.info/ricix/TheodosiusII.html</a></p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]457272[/ATTACH]</p><p>This AE2 (22-21 mm) is perhaps the most dramatic type. It was struck, possibly c. 437, for circulation in Crimea (in the north Black Sea region).[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
