Coin is in excellent condition and somewhat rare list price on the baby is $65.00. Flavius Theodosius was born at Ilalica in Spain A.D. 346, the son of the famous Count Theodosius who clearde Britian of the invaders in the reign of Valentinian I. The son soon proved that he had inherited all his father's military talents, and he became one of the Empire's foremost generals. Finally, a few months after the catastrophe of Hadrianopolis, Gratian elevated him to the rank of Augustus and he succeeded to the throne of the Eastern division of the Empire (January 379). The new emporer immediately set about recuing the Eastern provinces from the Gothic onslaught, but no sooner had he completed this task than he had to turn his attention to the West, where Magnus Maximus had overthrown Gratian and was threatening Valentinian II. In 388 Theodosius finally defeated Maximus, but six years later he again had to march against a Western usurper, this time Eugenius, the nominee of Arbogastes. By his victory over Eugenius, Theodosius extended his rule over the entire Empire, but less than five months later, on January 17, 395, he died at Milan, a victim of dropsy. Obv: D.N.THEODOSIVS P.F.
