Solidus - Honorius CONCORDIA AVGGG, Thessalonica

Thessalonica's mint was among the most active in the eastern half of the empire during the fraught years following the death of Theodosius I in 395, when his two sons — Arcadius in the east and Honorius in the west — found themselves nominal co-rulers of a rapidly fracturing administration. The CONCORDIA AVGGG reverse type was a deliberate political statement: three Augusti at the time, with the infant Theodosius II proclaimed co-emperor by Arcadius in 402, giving the triple-Augustus legend its brief window of literal accuracy.

Thessalonica struck under the control of the eastern court throughout this period, which makes a solidus bearing Honorius's name from that mint a product of inter-court diplomacy rather than western authority.
