[QUOTE="Gavin Richardson, post: 3872535, member: 83956"][ATTACH=full]1023183[/ATTACH] So I picked up this URBS ROMA FELIX from eBay for $3.98 shipped. It's a scarce issue, struck for Arcadius, Honorius, and Theodosius II from 404-408 A.D. I was impressed with the sharp reverse--pretty rare for this little coin. Sadly, though, I can't tell if the obverse is for Arcadius or Honorius. The obverse legend breaks the same to terminate in-IVS PF AVG. I don't think Theodosius is a possibility. His legend terminates -SIVS PF AVG [USER=44316]@Valentinian[/USER] has a great site about these.
