Follis - Arcadius GLORIA ROMANORVM, Cyzicus

Arcadius ruled the Eastern Empire from 383 until his death in 408, though effective power rested largely with a succession of strongmen — Rufinus, then Eutropius, then Anthemius. The Cyzicus mint, one of the most productive in the East, struck folles throughout this period to supply an economy increasingly strained by Gothic settlement demands and the fiscal aftermath of Adrianople. RIC X 151 is a common type by survival count, which itself reflects how heavily this denomination circulated in Anatolia and the Aegean provinces.
