| Reverse description | Theodosius I depicted in full military attire, standing facing with head turned to the right. In his right hand he holds a standard (labarum), while his extended left hand bears a globus (globe), symbolizing imperial dominion over the world. The mintmark appears in the exergue; on some specimens a star is found in the right field. The composition follows the standard late Roman military emperor type, conveying themes of Roman glory and imperial power. |
