🏛️ Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire Begins
 
🏛️ A Coin from Rome’s Twilight
This AE3 (bronze nummus) was minted under Arcadius, the first independent emperor of the Eastern Roman Empire, during a time when the once-united Roman Empire was fracturing irreparably.
Following the death of his father Theodosius I, the empire was split between Arcadius in the East and his brother Honorius in the West—marking the beginning of the permanent division of the Roman world. Arcadius ruled from Constantinople, where politics and palace intrigue often overshadowed military power.
