| Additional information |
Gratian's reign ended in 383 when Magnus Maximus invaded from Britain, and his own troops mutinied rather than fight — he was killed at Lugdunum shortly after. The Antioch mint, operating under the administrative reorganization of Diocletian's earlier reforms, was one of several eastern workshops that continued striking for the legitimate Augustus even as the western empire fractured. RIC IX 40A is among the commoner types from this mint for the period, produced across a sixteen-year window that saw Gratian go from co-emperor under his father Valentinian I to sole ruler of the west.
