Beschrijving voorzijde Right-facing bust of Emperor Theodosius I, pearl-diademed, draped, and cuirassed, rendered in the standard late Roman imperial portrait style. The effigy displays characteristic late antique workmanship with the pearl diadem clearly delineated across the brow. The surrounding legend reads DN THEODO-SIVS P F AVG, abbreviated for Dominus Noster Theodosius Pius Felix Augustus, distributed around the periphery of the flan. A beaded border frames the design, visible along the coin's irregular edge.

Aanvullende informatie

The VOT X MVLT XX vow legend was struck to commemorate Theodosius's tenth regnal anniversary and anticipate his twentieth — a formulaic optimism that the western campaigns against Magnus Maximus and the protracted Gothic settlements made increasingly hollow. Antioch's mint, designated with the ANTA or ANTB officina marks, was one of the most productive eastern workshops under Theodosius, handling the enormous bronze output required after the catastrophic losses at Adrianople in 378 had stripped the Danubian mints of personnel and stability. RIC IX 65b distinguishes this piece by officina and reverse field details that matter considerably when attributing within this dense series.
