Honorius, younger son of Theodosius I, ruled the Western Roman Empire during a time of steep decline. His reign saw the sack of Rome in AD 410 by the Visigoths under Alaric, a symbolic blow to Roman prestige. His coinage, while conservative in style, features crosses, Victory, and Roma, emphasizing divine legitimacy in an era of fragmentation and loss.
