Honorius Gold Solidus 393-423AD

Constantinopolis helmeted seated facing head right on throne of arms.

Sear 20899. 20mm, 4.44g Constantinople mint.

Attractive portrait, excellent details overall with clear legends, some lustre remaining.

Honorius was Western Roman Emperor, while his brother Arcadius was Eastern Emperor from 395AD. The reign was troubled by ongoing barbarian hostilities in Gaul, Italia and Hispania. He based his capital in Ravenna from 401AD and in 410AD Rome was sacked for the first time in over 800 years, by Visigoths. He famously ordered the withdrawal of Roman troops from Britain in 408AD, prompting Britain to plunge in to the Dark Ages.

Gold Roman Coins offer a fascinating glimpse into the history of the ancient world, providing insights into the reigns of notable figures such as those shown here; Valens, Marcian, Zeno and Honorius.

Valens faced the daunting task of defending the empire against external threats, particularly the Gothic incursions. His gold coins often show him with a stern visage.

Honorius, presided over a period of decline and fragmentation in the Western Roman Empire. His coins often depict symbols of authority and imperial power, reflecting his efforts to assert control amid increasing instability.

Marcian`s reign was marked by efforts to restore order and rebuild the empire`s strength. The coins reflect his commitment to stability.

Zeno inherited a divided empire and the gold coins portray a determined ruler striving to maintain unity amidst turmoil.

Check out the renowned Professor Jeffery P. Mass’ collection of short cross pennies – a name synonymous with expertise in numismatics - uploaded to Silbury Coins today!

The Professor Jeffery P. Mass collection of short cross pennies is perhaps the best known name and collection in this corner of numismatics, a Anglo American gentleman who was always willing to share his extensive knowledge of the subject and with virtually unrivalled academic abilities. In his fifteen years of collecting short cross pennies he accumulated not the largest, but arguably the most comprehensive representation of the series. This was recognised by the decision to make his collection the subject of a volume in the Sylloge of Coins of the British Isles series, an acknowledgement of its importance. Like Jeffrey North before him, Jeffrey Mass undertook the authorship of his own collection. His collection was dispersed following his death in 2001. #numismatics #jefferypmass #medievalcoinsforsale #medieval #shortcrosspenny ...
