THEODOSIUS I or II
« on: April 03, 2007, 03:56:49 pm »
I have just added this coin (Reverse: VRBS ROMA FELIX) to my gallery. RIC says it is Theodosius I but other sources say Theodosius II. Can anyone please clarify exactly who it is please.  ???

Thanks,

Alex.

VRBS ROMA FELIX  is a reverse for Theodosius I
while it is VRBS ROMA  for  Theodosius II.

"This type was originally thought to have been issued by Arcadius and Honorius in conjunction with Theodosius I, but it came to be realized that "Theodosius" was really Theodosius II. Thus it is included in RIC IX under the earlier erroneously attribtution with an erroneous early date (AD 394-395) and then again in RIC X with a corrected attribution and date (404-408, given on page 130)."
