The bust and the face doesn't look Costantine III that has often fatter appearance.
On the right side the legenda's space is too short.

I mean,there is not enough space before letter VS, to hold TINVS and the final S must be at the nose tip height and not as here at the eye.

All looks right for Honorius,in my opinion face,legenda's spaces etc.
Wait for other ideas!

Its not Constantine III. doesn't look late enough. Besides, you really need the name to be surviving to ID late siliquae (unless they have certain identifying aspects, which still usually require at least a few letters - like the much commoner Eugenius).

I did find a skinnier Constantine III, but I think that you guys are correct, the legend says it all. Thanks.

There is a slight resemblance to Constantine III, but I would be more inclined to believe it's most likely Honorius.

After a bit of research the seller agrees.
