Arcadius — Maiorina, GLORIA ROMANORVM, Nicomedia

Struck at Nicomedia between AD 383 and 388, when Arcadius was a boy sharing the throne with his father Theodosius I. Coins in his name announced the dynasty's future in the east years before he ruled alone.

The reverse reads GLORIA ROMANORVM, the glory of the Romans. The emperor stands facing, head left, holding the labarum and resting on a shield, with the Nicomedia mint mark in the exergue.
