Arcadius, 19 January 383 - 1 May 408 A.D.
|Arcadius|, |Arcadius,| |19| |January| |383| |-| |1| |May| |408| |A.D.|, VOT V abbreviates Votis Quinquennalibus, which means Arcadius has completed vows (prayers and sacrifices) for five years of rule. In a religious context, votum, plural vota, is a vow or promise made to a deity. The word comes from the past participle of voveo, vovere; as the result of the verbal action, a vow, or promise. It may refer also to the fulfillment of this vow, that is, the thing promised. The votum is thus an aspect of the contractual nature of Roman religion and sacrifice, a bargaining expressed by "do ut des" (I give that you might give).
