Victory advancing right, holding wreath and cross on globe.RIC 1214; Depeyrot 18/1.The eldest son of Theodosius I from Spain, Arcadius became augustus at the age of six. When his father left to end the usurpation of Eugenius and did not return, Arcadius remained in Constantinople in his stead and became augustus of the East at eighteen, while his brother Honorius got the West. The empire was now divided, Theodosius I was first seen as the unifier and then as the one who divided it forever. From this time on, the two empires had independent lives and slowly became more and more distinct from each other, and Arcadius was recognized as the first Byzantine emperor. Initially Arcadius reigned under his patron Rufinus, an ambitious politician from Aquitaine who frowned upon his equivalent in the West, Stilicho. The latter made a secret agreement with the Visigoth leader Gainas, who had been welcomed to Constantinople by Arcadius, and killed Rufinus. Stilicho thus prevailed in this dispute but was sentenced to death in 408, accused among other things of the murder of Rufinus himself. His place was then taken by the eunuch Eutropius, remembered in the sources as a cruel and vicious man. Eutropius tried to forge an alliance with Alaric, who now hold the balance of power between East and West. By putting his opponents to death and confiscating their wealth, he succeeded in getting Stilicho declared a public enemy and bring Africa under the control of the East in order to secure its grain, bringing the West to its knees and starving it. In any case, Arcadius was persuaded by the court to get Eutropius, who was in fact acting as the real emperor, out of the way and hit with damnatio memoriae as well. In his place was chosen Gainas himself, the Visigoth leader, who, however, was short-lived. The anti-barbarian mood that was fueled by influential figures, such as Patriarch John Chrysostom, resulted in a revolt in Constantinople against the Goths and, therefore, also against Gainas, and led to a massacre of the barbarians and the escape of their leader. At this point the reins of the empire were taken over by the emperor's wife, Aelia Eudoxia, as Arcadius proved incapable of governing. Aelia pushed Alaric to invade the West, receiving in turn fierce criticism from the patriarch and the hatred of much of the people. However, she died in 404 from an abortion, while Arcadius died of illness four years later. Condition: Extremely fine.Weight: 1.50 g. Diameter: 14 mm.Estimate: € 500

Latin cross within wreath with central jewel.RIC 2071; Depeyrot 47/8.RareFlavius Placidius Valentinianus was born in 419 to Constantius III and Galla Placidia, placed very young on the throne after the death of Honorius, who had left no heir, while the court of Ravenna had chosen Johannes as augustus in an attempt to free itself from the control of the Eastern Empire. Appointed caesar in 424, he was crowned augustus of the West in Rome the following year, but his mother Galla ruled in his stead for more than a decade. Despite her diplomatic prowess Galla Placidia was in trouble when she faced the valiant general Flavius Aetius, who had sided with Johannes and for him gained the support of the Huns. After the defeat of the usurper Galla could not put the general to death, but she put him back to work in the Gauls, where he displayed great military experience and earned the title of 'magister militum'. Flavius Aetius, in fact, found himself in charge of a power greater even than that of the young emperor and his mother, and did his best to contain barbarian pressure on the Rhine and Danube fronts, while he could do nothing against Genseric's Vandals who conquered Carthage. Another serious threat was posed by the Huns who, having renounced tribute from the Eastern Empire under Marcian control, turned to the West: the sister of Valentinian III, Justa Grata Honoria, unwilling to marry the man for whom her family had destined her, sent a plea for help to Attila, in some ways legitimizing his coming to the West. This started a war in Gaul. Aetius prevailed in the battle near the Catalaunian Fields (451) but Attila, although defeated, managed to sack Mediolanum. Here occurred the famous and mysterious meeting with pope Leo I the Great, who succeeded in getting him to desist from an invasion of Italy (453). Attila died shortly afterward, however. The end of Valentinian III's reign came, however, at the hands of his most trusted advisers. Jealous of the power Aetius was gaining, the eunuch Heraclius and the prefect of the praetorium in Rome, Petronius Maximus, persuaded the emperor to get rid of him (454). Without Aetius Valentinian had deprived himself of his own power and was murdered the following year by two assassins sent by Maximus. Condition: Uncirculated.Weight: 1.44 g.
