Description: This exceptional ancient bronze coin features Emperor Honorius, who ruled the Western Roman Empire from AD 393 to 423. Known for his efforts to defend the empire during a period of significant challenges, including the sack of Rome in AD 410, Honorius's reign was marked by both turmoil and resilience. This AE2 coin has been graded and encapsulated by the Numismatic Guaranty Corporation (NGC), ensuring its preservation and display-ready condition. Historical Context: Honorius, born Flavius Honorius, ascended to the throne as a child and faced numerous challenges during his reign, including invasions by various barbarian groups and internal strife. Despite these difficulties, his administration worked to maintain the remnants of Roman authority in the West. The AE2 denomination, larger than the more common AE3 and AE4 coins of the time, was part of the currency reforms aimed at stabilizing the economy during this tumultuous period. Coins like this one often featured imagery intended to promote imperial strength and unity. Owning this AE2 bronze coin offers a tangible connection to a pivotal era in Roman history.
