Byzantine or Roman gold coin help

Hi, I've researched this as much as I can and I think this is a fairly late coin, if you can shed any light on this coin I would be most grateful. Thanks, Paul

it's not gold, but bronze. The obverse is Arcadius and the reverse is GLORIA ROMANORVM, Three emperors standing front; to left and right, Arcadius and Honorius standing facing each other, holding spear and shield; between them, Theodosius II, smaller, standing facing, head turned to right, holding spear with his right hand and globe in his left. It is from Antioch and struck circa A.D. 406- 408
