Honorius received the title Augustus in January 393 at age eight, appointed co-emperor by his father Theodosius I while the western court was still managing the aftermath of Eugenius's usurpation. This issue, struck at Antioch under the unified administration that briefly held both halves of the empire, belongs to the narrow window before Theodosius's death in January 395 permanently divided the empire between his two sons. Antioch's mint was among the most active eastern facilities producing small bronze for western imperial titles during this period.
RIC IX 69e is a mintmark variant distinguished by the officina letter within the exergue.
