| Beschrijving voorzijde | Diademed, draped, and cuirassed bust of Emperor Honorius facing right, adorned with a pearl diadem and elaborate jewelled pendilia hanging at the ear. The emperor wears a paludamentum fastened at the shoulder with a fibula, with the cuirass visible beneath. The hair is rendered in fine striated detail, and the portrait conveys the stylised late antique Imperial effigy characteristic of Theodosian-era coinage. The encircling Latin legend reads D N HONORI-VS P F AVG, identifying the emperor as Dominus Noster Honorius, Pius Felix Augustus. |

The reverse legend VICTORI-A AVGGG encircles the field, proclaiming the victory of the three Augusti, while the mint mark M D appears in the field and COMOB is inscribed in the exergue, denoting the Mediolanum mint and confirming the standard full-weight gold alloy. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Honorius received the western half of a divided empire at age ten, with the general Stilicho — himself of Vandal descent — acting as effective ruler throughout this period. These solidi were struck at Mediolanum (Milan) during the window before the city was abandoned as an imperial residence, when Honorius fled to Ravenna in 402 following Alaric's invasion of northern Italy. The Milan mint ceased imperial gold production shortly after.
