Small graffiti in the obverse field. This coin comes from the Mare Nostrum find (1954). This extraordinary find consisting of 426 solidi in an exceptional state of preservation was acquired without us knowing its precise provenance. Nevertheless, we can say that it is a maritime treasure, if we refer to the traces of marine concretions visible on several specimens that survived. The set, which includes mostly coins dating from the end of the Western Roman Empire, is a remarkable testimony of the monetary circulation in this troubled period. The present coin is published in the book dedicated to this find, by I. Vecchi, R. Beale and S. Parkin (2022).\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp id=\"headCaption\"\u003eD N THEODOSIVS P F AVG\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp id=\"reverseCaption\"\u003eVOT XXX MVLT XXXX Δ \/ CONOB in exergue.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp id=\"weight\"\u003e4.24 gr\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"cdma","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43918434828517,"sku":"1066990","price":1590.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0637\/1655\/7029\/products\/1066990A.jpg?v=1689969747","url":"https:\/\/www.numiscorner.com\/products\/1066990-coin-theodosius-ii-solidus-430-440-constantinople-ef-40-45-gold","provider":"Numiscorner.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
