Bullion Exchanges is pleased to offer the 383–408 AD Eastern Roman Empire Arcadius AE4 Nummus, an authentic ancient bronze coin certified by NGC. Struck during the reign of Flavius Arcadius, this coin is a genuine artifact from the Decline and Fall of the Western Roman Empire, a pivotal era in world history. Each coin bears a portrait of Emperor Arcadius and features reverse designs with mythological or military themes, offering collectors a glimpse into the final chapters of imperial Rome.

Arcadius, the elder son of Theodosius I and Aelia Flaccilla, ascended the Eastern Roman throne in 383 AD. Known for his weak disposition and lavish upbringing, Arcadius was heavily influenced by court officials, including Rufinus and Pulcheria, who helped shape imperial policy and religious shifts, such as the rise of the Virgin Mary cult. His rule was marked by internal manipulation and external threats, particularly from Gothic forces. Arcadius died in 408 AD at his palace in Constantinople, leaving behind a complex legacy during a time of fragmentation and transformation in the empire.
