Siliqua in the name of Honorius Carthage mint

Following the Vandal capture of Carthage in 439 AD, Geiseric's kingdom faced the immediate practical problem of maintaining a functioning monetary economy across North Africa. The solution was conservative: continue striking late Roman silver in the name of emperors the Vandals had just finished fighting. Issuing coins under Honorius — dead since 423 — was a deliberate political signal, projecting legitimacy through Roman forms while asserting nothing that could provoke Constantinople into renewed military action.

The Carthage mint output during this period was modest, and die links across surviving specimens suggest limited production runs.
