Valentinian standing facing, with foot set upon serpentine human head, holding long cross and crowning Victory on globus.RIC 2018; Ranieri 96; Depeyrot 17/1.Flavius 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: Good very fine.Weight: 4.37 g. Diameter: 22 mm.

Constantinopolis seated facing on throne, head right, with foot set upon prow, holding sceptre and victoriola.RIC 8; Depeyrot 55/2.Honorius became Augustus of the West at the age of ten at the behest of his father Theodosius I, who was intent on establishing the succession before his death. Given his young age, however, he was assisted by the valiant general Stilicho, who was half Vandal in origin and unlikely to have been aiming for the throne. The East, on the other hand, was entrusted to Honorius's brother Arcadius, and this was home to unrest because the two brothers did not like each other and were both assisted by cunning and manipulative advisers. By now there was no longer talk of a western and eastern part of the empire, but of two separate empires. Theodosius' project of a united empire in solidarity with the barbarian peoples, integrated into the Roman army, had failed. According to some historians Arcadius was the first Byzantine emperor. Stilicho faced great difficulties on the eastern front, mainly due to Alaric's Goths and other tribes crossing into Gaul. The situation precipitated and the Senate refused to pay a large sum of money to Alaric, further accusing Stilicho of conspiring with the enemy and condemning him to death in 408. It was the beginning of the end for the West, because the most valuable politician and general was lost. Honorius resided in Ravenna, where he treacherously attempted to murder Alaric, who was there to renew the 'foedus' with the emperor. This caused him to break off all negotiations and led to the famous 'sack of Rome' in 410, which marked the end of the city as capital. The news of Rome's fall represented a trauma for the empire and the collapse of the certainty of its invincibility. Honorius also did not recognize the marriage between his half-sister Galla Placidia and Ataulf, Alaric's successor. This marriage was strongly desired by the Goths and may have been a response to the crisis in the empire, as Ataulf intended to settle permanently in Roman territories by offering protection to the emperor instead of fighting him. In 413 General Flavius Constantius defeated four usurpers in the western provinces, succeeded in signing a peace treaty with Ataulf, and became associate emperor under the name Constantius III (421) but, unrecognized by the eastern empire, died shortly thereafter. In 423 Honorius also died, marking the final surrender, the birth of the Romano-Barbarian kingdoms and the first steps of medieval history. Condition: Very fine.Weight: 4.46 g. Diameter: 20 mm.
