Aelia Eudoxia, wife of Arcadius, was not elevated to Augusta until January 400 AD, which brackets the likely production window for this type more tightly than the catalog dates suggest. Her elevation was engineered largely by the powerful general Eutropius — who was himself castrated, a eunuch holding consular rank, a constitutional scandal that drew open condemnation from John Chrysostom. The political turbulence surrounding the Eastern court in these years was extraordinary, and coinage bearing Eudoxia's name was part of a deliberate assertion of dynastic legitimacy at a moment when the throne felt anything but secure.
Eudoxia died in October 404 following a stillbirth, ending this type's production.
