Notes:
(1) While this coin has a shield supported on the left knee it is inscribed with a double-lined Chio-Rho, and no shield behind cuirass. Therefore it is considered as unlisted and not a var. of RIC 028 (2) NAC Auction 34, Lot 109 An apparently unrecorded variety of a rare type. Ex Sternberg sale XIX, 1987, 950. The daughter of Bauto the Frank, a general and consul under Valentinian I, Aelia Eudoxia was married to Arcadius with the help of the court eunuch Eutropius. Her position was one of great power, and she used it to dominate palace politics as well as her weak husband. A very pious woman who often argued with the Church’s leadership, Eudoxia gave birth to five children, among them the future emperor Theodosius II, and the chaste empress Aelia Pulcheria, wife of the future emperor Marcian. After only a decade of marriage and deep involvement in court affairs, Eudoxia died in the midst of a miscarriage in October, 404.
