Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Solidus - Eugenius (VICTORIA AVGG; Lugdunum) coin is that it was issued during the reign of Emperor Eugenius, who was a puppet emperor controlled by the magister militum Arbogast. Despite being a puppet emperor, Eugenius was able to issue his own coinage, which is a testament to the power and influence he still held despite his limited authority.
