This ancient Roman coin is a treasure from the era of Emperor Honorius, dating back to 393-395 AD. The coin depicts Emperor Honorius on the obverse and the emperor holding a globe on the reverse.
Honorius (9 September 384 – 15 August 423) was Roman emperor from 393 to 423. He was the younger son of emperor Theodosius I and his first wife Aelia Flaccilla. After the death of Theodosius in 395, Honorius, under the regency of Stilicho, ruled the western half of the empire while his brother Arcadius ruled the eastern half. His reign over the Western Roman Empire was notably precarious and chaotic. In 410, Rome was sacked for the first time in almost 800 years.
This coin is a fascinating item that will make a great addition to any collection.
