| Aanvullende informatie |
Theodosius II came to the Eastern throne at age seven in 408, with the praetorian prefect Anthemius effectively running the administration through most of this issue's production window. The light miliarensis as a denomination had been stabilized by Constantius II in the 350s as part of broader currency reforms, and by Theodosius II's reign it occupied a specific transactional niche between the solidus and the humbler bronze issues — used largely for donatives and official payments rather than everyday commerce.
Constantinople's mint dominated production of this type. RIC X places the full run across a span that brackets the reign's early decades, before the monetary picture shifts with later fifth-century pressures.
