| Additional information |
Arcadius was only five or six years old when his father Theodosius I elevated him to co-emperor in January 383, making him Augustus in name while real authority remained firmly with the court at Constantinople. The Siscia mint — situated in Pannonia, modern-day Sisak in Croatia — was one of the western production centers still operating under eastern administrative control during this period, a jurisdictional arrangement that would dissolve entirely after Theodosius reunified the empire in 388 following the defeat of the usurper Magnus Maximus.
RIC IX 38c is a scarce type within the Siscia output for this reign.
