Aelia Flacilla, wife of Theodosius I, was among the first Roman empresses to appear on bronze coinage with any regularity — a deliberate political move by Theodosius to legitimize his dynasty following the catastrophic defeat at Adrianople in 378, which had killed Valens and left the eastern empire dangerously destabilized. Her coinage was struck at Constantinople during a period when the court was actively reconstructing imperial authority, and her prominent association with the SALVS REPVBLICAE type tied the health of the state explicitly to the Theodosian house.
She died in 386, and her coinage ceased abruptly with her death.
