| Additional information |
Sirmium — modern Sremska Mitrovica in Serbia — served as one of the most strategically contested minting cities in the late Roman world, and its solidus output under Honorius dates to an extraordinarily compressed window. These coins were struck in the immediate aftermath of Theodosius I's death in January 395, when the empire was formally divided between his two sons. Honorius received the West; Arcadius the East. That Sirmium, a western city, appears under Eastern Roman authority here reflects the chaotic jurisdictional overlap of those first months before administrative boundaries hardened.
The mint at Sirmium closed permanently around 397, making this one of its final issues.
