Opschrift voorzijde D N THEODOSIVS P F AVG
(Translation: Dominus Noster Theodosius Pius Felix Augustus. Our lord Theodosius, pious and blessed Augustus.)
Beschrijving keerzijde The emperor stands facing, with head turned to his left, holding a labarum (Chi-Rho standard) in his right hand and a globus (orb) surmounted by a Victory in his left hand, symbolizing universal Roman dominion. The composition is a standard late Roman imperial reverse type conveying the emperor's role as triumphant Christian sovereign. Depending on the officina, a cross (+) symbol may appear in one or both fields flanking the central figure. The exergue carries the mint mark, consisting of the CON prefix followed by an officina letter, occasionally with a dot or punctuation mark. The encircling legend GLORIA ROMANORVM proclaims the glory of the Roman people.

Aanvullende informatie

Theodosius I issued this bronze maiorina during the final years of his sole rule over a unified Roman Empire — a political reality that would never recur. The GLORIA ROMANORVM type was minted across multiple eastern workshops simultaneously, making mint attribution critical; the Constantinopolis mint produced RIC IX 88a in quantity, and officina letters on these coins remain one of the few reliable tools for sorting the series.

Theodosius died in January 395, immediately after which his sons Arcadius and Honorius divided the empire permanently between them.
