| Additional information |
Honorius received the Western throne at age eight, with Stilicho acting as effective regent — a arrangement that shaped military and monetary policy alike for the first decade of his reign. The Heraclea mint, situated in Thrace, was nominally under Eastern jurisdiction but struck coins bearing Western imperial names during the fragile co-reign period following Theodosius I's death in 395.
RIC IX 27c places this issue within a fractured administrative moment before the Eastern and Western mints fully rationalized their output.
