| Aanvullende informatie |
Aelia Flaccilla was Theodosius I's first wife and the first empress to appear on the solidus in her own right — a deliberate political statement about dynastic legitimacy at a moment when Theodosius desperately needed it. He had been elevated to augustus in January 379, just months after the catastrophe at Adrianople had killed Valens and gutted the eastern army. Associating the new dynasty with a pious, Roman-born empress was calculated messaging.
The Constantinople mint's output for Flaccilla is relatively constrained, making RIC IX 49 scarcer than its western counterparts.
