| Additional information |
Aelia Eudocia — born Athenais, daughter of an Athenian philosopher — converted to Christianity and married Theodosius II in 421, receiving the Augusta title in 423. These tremisses were struck during her earliest years at court, before the political fractures with the empress Pulcheria that would eventually drive Eudocia to Jerusalem in self-imposed exile around 443. The Constantinopolis mint attribution places production squarely within the eastern capital's controlled output, where gold fractions like this served long-distance trade and official payments rather than everyday exchange.
