giano Valued Member 279 Posts	Posted 06/10/2014 11:36 am 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! Edited by giano 06/10/2014 11:37 am Report this Post to the Staff

VisigothKing Pillar of the Community United States 4778 Posts	Posted 06/10/2014 12:47 pm Definitely looks like Honorius to me also.Or possibly Arcadius. Report this Post to the Staff
Ben Pillar of the Community United Kingdom 4208 Posts	Posted 06/10/2014 1:04 pm 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).

pishpash Pillar of the Community United Kingdom 3626 Posts	Posted 06/10/2014 1:15 pm I did find a skinnier Constantine III, but I think that you guys are correct, the legend says it all. Thanks. Report this Post to the Staff
echizento Moderator United States 23731 Posts	Posted 06/10/2014 4:40 pm There is a slight resemblance to Constantine III, but I would be more inclined to believe it's most likely Honorius. Report this Post to the Staff
