Archraz Pillar of the Community United States 3499 Posts	Posted 04/15/2014 10:29 pm I got this one in an uncleaned lot. Could it be a theodosius? Unfortunately, all but "P F AUG" is off the flan on the obverse, and the reverse may be double-struck. Report this Post to the Staff

chrsmat71 Pillar of the Community United States 4981 Posts	Posted 04/15/2014 11:09 pm i would say it could be theodosius, arcadius, or honorius...likely with all three of them on the reverse. Report this Post to the Staff

chrsmat71 Pillar of the Community United States 4981 Posts	Posted 04/15/2014 11:19 pm i think so...it could be theodosius ii also. but get a second opinion from an expert here.. here's a theodosius ii of the type from wildwinds.. Edited by chrsmat71 04/15/2014 11:21 pm Report this Post to the Staff
Archraz Pillar of the Community United States 3499 Posts	Posted 04/15/2014 11:28 pm chrsmat71- Thanks again! I noticed that a number of this type were actually from Antioch. Is it likely that mine is from this mint as well? Report this Post to the Staff

january1may Pillar of the Community Russian Federation 5181 Posts	Posted 04/17/2014 12:27 pm I happen to have coins of this type for all three emperors - Arcadius, Honorius and Theodosius II (I'm not aware of any issues of this type for Theodosius I, who was long dead when these coins were made). This type is one of the earliest for Theodosius II, who would've been about 5-7 years old when these coins were made; it is, consequently, found in much better condition than many later types for this relatively uncommon ruler. As it happens, my Theo II coin of this type is very possibly in even better condition than the pictured example above; unfortunately, while I did make a pretty decent photo of that coin, it isn't on this computer (but there's a lower-quality photo in this thread - that coin is the top left, top and top right are Arcadius and Honorius respectively; discussion at the linked thread is also welcomed, as I feel I didn't get quite enough back then).
