Mint and officina mark in exergue.Flavius Honorius was born in A.D. 384, the
second son of Theodosius I and Aelia Flacilla. He was made Augustus by his
father in 393, and two years later, he became emperor of the Western Roman
Empire. Honorius was a weak ruler, allowing his generals, ministers, and even
his sisters to run the Empire. This was the beginning of the end of the Empire.
Honorius died in 423.
