| Additional information |
Eugenius was a former professor of rhetoric elevated to emperor by the general Arbogast in 392 following the suspicious death of Valentinian II. His reign lasted barely two years before Theodosius I crushed his forces at the Battle of the Frigidus in September 394 — a engagement famously decided in part by a violent Bora wind that drove into the faces of Eugenius's troops. He was captured and executed immediately after.
The Treveri mint was one of the few still producing gold for his administration, making this tremissis one of a tightly constrained issue from a politically illegitimate reign of under twenty-four months.
