Honorius, 393-423. Siliqua (Silver, 14 mm, 0.91 g, 7 h), Milan, 402. D N HONORI-VS P F AVG Pearl-diademed, draped, and cuirassed bust of Honorius to right. Rev. VIRTVS RO-MANORVM / MDPS Roma seated left on cuirass, holding Victory set on globe in her right hand and spear in her left. RIC 1228. RSC 59†b. Nicely toned. With clipped edges, otherwise, nearly extremely fine.
From a Dutch collection.
Despite the slight clipping, a practice often done in late antiquity even though the act was criminal, this coin exhibits nearly full legends. Usually when a siliqua from this period is clipped it has been done such that most of the legends are no longer even on the coin!
