Eugenius, 22 August 392 - 6 September 394 A.D.

Eugenius was the puppet emperor of the barbarian general Arbogastes. Placed on the throne by the barbarian lord, Eugenius was not accepted as co-emperor by Theodosius I. Theodosius marched into Italy. Eugenius was defeated and executed.

In 394, after he defeated Eugenius and Arbogast in the Battle of the Frigidus, Theodosius I extinguished the sacred fire tended by the Vestal Virgins in Rome. The Temple of Vesta remained reasonably intact until the Renaissance. However, in 1549 the building was completely demolished and its marble reused in churches and papal palaces. The section standing today was reconstructed in the 1930s during the dictatorship of Benito Mussolini. The Temple of Vesta

|Eugenius|, |Eugenius,| |22| |August| |392| |-| |6| |September| |394| |A.D.||siliqua|
"'Siliqua' (pl: siliquae), the smallest Roman unit of weight measurement (equal to 1/144 of a Roman ounce - 1/1728 of a pound) was applied about 323 to the silver coins (93-97% fine) which Constantine I struck. By 324 the solidus was the Roman gold unit (struck at 1/72 of a pound) and was tariffed at 24 silver coins. Thus 'siliqua' was applied to the silver, since it was equal to 1/24 of 1/72 of a pound of gold, or 1/1728 of a pound of gold. Originally struck at 3.15 gms and 18-20 mms, between 355 and 360 they were reduced by Constantius II to about 2.0 gms and remained at that weight into Byzantine times." - Moneta Historical Research by Thomas SchroerSH32742.
