Armored bust v. v. with helmet, spear and shield//Constantinopolis sits v. vs., head r., with scepter and Victoria on globe, foot on prora. RIC 7. Excellent Exemplary of the König Collection, Saarbrücken (ca. 1950-2002), auction Peus Nachf. 443, Frankfurt am Main 2025, No 624. In 395 the Huns had invaded the east of the Empire. After a large part of the troops of Emperor Theodosius I, which initially remained in the West, were reclaimed, they were gathered together under Arcadius' most important advisor Eutropius and led against the Huns. He succeeded in repressing the enemy, for which he was awarded the consulate as the only eunuch in 399. However, when both Gaina's captain and Stilicho, who was entrusted with the suppression of an uprising, demanded the disempowerment of Eutropius, Arcadius dropped him, banished him, and soon had him executed.
