BOX SET Roman Bronze of Arcadius and the Rise of the Virgin Mary
Arcadius (b. 377) was Roman emperor from 383 to his death in 408. He was the eldest son of the Augustus Theodosius I (r. 379–395) and his first wife Aelia Flaccilla, and the brother of Honorius (r. 393–423). Arcadius ruled the Eastern Roman Empire from 395, when Theodosius died, while Honorius ruled the west. Arcadius was influential in the rise of the worship of the Virgin Mary (the Madonna) to its current state today. At the time the worship of Mary was mainly by small cults. Thanks to Arcadius and the insistence of daughter Pulcheria, many Marian relics including the Virgin's Belt or "Cinture" and the Virgin's Veil were brought into Constantinople and venerated.
