| Reverse description | The emperor stands facing, with head turned to the right, rendered in full military regalia. In his right hand he holds a labarum-type standard, and in his left he cradles a Victory on globe. The figure is depicted in a commanding frontal stance typical of late Roman imperial iconography. The mint mark CONSA appears in the exergue, identifying the Constantinople mint, officina A. The surrounding legend GLORIA ROMANORVM proclaims the glory of the Romans. |

| Additional information |
Honorius received the title of Augustus in January 393, aged eight, elevated by his father Theodosius I while the western court was still managing the aftermath of Eugenius's usurpation. The Constantinopolis mint struck this type during that narrow window before Theodosius died in January 395 and formally split the empire between his two sons — making these issues products of a unified imperial administration that would never exist again.
