Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Tremissis - Honorius (VICTORIA AVGVSTORVM; Ravenna) (422) coin is that it was issued during the reign of Emperor Honorius, who ruled the Western Roman Empire from 393 to 423 AD. Despite being made of gold, the coin was not minted in Rome, but rather in the city of Ravenna, which was the capital of the Western Roman Empire at the time. This highlights the decentralization of power and influence within the empire during this period.
