                                Description

     This piece was minted at Milan during the reign of Arcadius, who
     ruled from 383 to 408 AD. The obverse of this type featured the
     diademed, draped, and cuirassed bust of Arcadius facing right,
     with legends D.N.ARCADIVS.P.F.AVG. The reverse features Roma
     seated left on cuirass, holding Victory on globe and reversed
     spear, with legends VIRTVS.ROMANORVM. The mint/ofiicina mark MDPS
     appears in the exergue. Coin shows some obverse porosity and a
     circular scratch, but otherwise grades F/F+, with devices and
     much of the legend clearly visible. This piece was formerly part
     of the collection of the San Francisco Museum of Fine Arts, who
     recently deaccessioned their ancient coin holdings. This coin was
     number 1532. A decent and affordable ex-museum example of the
     type, catalouged as RSC-27b. Buyer pays postage/insurance, coin
     shipped on clearance of funds. PA residents please add
     appropriate sales tax. MC/Visa accepted for orders of $20 or
     more. For more ancients, please visit our WWW site at
