<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dltsrq, post: 8302406, member: 75482&quot;]While it&#039;s not possible to know <i>precisely</i> when the first coins in the name of Arcadius were struck, there are issues from Constantinople, for example, in which coins of both Arcadius and his mother Aelia Flaccilla (who died in early 386) share the same mint and privy marks. It can be said with some certainty, then, that the first coins in the name of Arcadius must have been struck no later than the death of Flaccilla. LRBC records three mint/privy combinations attested for both, so likely over some period of time prior. It makes good political sense, of course, that coins of Arcadius (or of any new emperor, for that matter) would have been struck almost immediately upon his elevation.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
