Numéro :

One coin referenced and illustrated plate 15 in the RIC X, n°353. Source: Historisches Museum (Bi).

Series with TESOB mark. Variant with shield decorated with victory with a captive on the ground on each side. The photos (Theodosius II and Honorius with the same shield, n°353 and 354) plate 15 do not make it possible to see clearly whether the victory is holding a wreath and the position of her body which seems to be turned to the left.

These coins from this mint all seem to have a spear depicted without a tip.
