Appears to be an AE3.

Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the Follis coin is that it was issued during the reign of Honorius, who was the Western Roman Emperor from 393 to 423 AD. Despite being issued in the Western Roman Empire, the coin was minted in Antioch, which was a city in the Eastern Roman Empire. This highlights the political and economic ties between the two empires during that time period.
