Explore this fascinating Roman Ae coin that features Emperor Theodosius II, often referred to as Theodosius the Calligrapher. His reign from AD 402 to 450 was integral to the Codex Theodosianus, a key legal text that has influenced Roman law for generations. The establishment of the University of Constantinople and the initiation of the impressive Theodosian Walls, which fortified the city, were also significant achievements during his rule. Theodosius's sister, Pulcheria, served as regent in his early years, adding to the intricate political landscape of the time. Sadly, his reign was cut short in 450 AD due to a riding accident.
This remarkable coin, graded as Very Fine (VF) and certified by NGC, is a treasure for collectors and history buffs alike.
