CONCORDIA AVGGG (402 / 403)

Bust of Theodosius II facing, cuirassed, wearing a helmet with crest and a pearl diadem. Holding a spear passing behind his head with the right hand and a decorated shield with a horseman slaying an enemy, with the left hand.

Constantinopolis seated on a throne with her head to the right, holding a scepter with her right hand and a globe surmounted by a victory with her left hand. Her right foot placed on a prow.

One coin illustrated in ''Catalog of Late Roman Coins in the Dumbarton Oaks Collection and in the Whittemore Collection'' (DOC), plante 12, n°295. The RIC X gave another source: Basel, Historisches Museum''. It must be the coin illustrated on plate 2, n°27.

Variant with jewel on the diadem.

This series is characterized by a large bust. As for Zeno, we notice a finer portrait on the first years (397 / 402), while the portraits of the following series will become wider and Theodosius II will look more to the right even if mixtures exist from 402.
