Flavia Maximiana Theodora Roman Bronze NGC

Own a certified Roman bronze coin of Flavia Maximiana Theodora, wife of Constantius I Chlorus, authenticated and slabbed by NGC. This historic piece offers a glimpse into the lives of the imperial women who helped shape the late Roman Empire.

Theodora was the stepdaughter of Emperor Maximian and became the second wife of Constantius I Chlorus, one of the key figures of the Tetrarchy—the system devised to bring order to a fractured empire. Through this marriage, Constantius strengthened his political alliance with Maximian, helping to secure stability during a period of intense power struggles.

Though little is recorded about Theodora’s personal life, her position as Augusta (empress) afforded her a place of honor in official imperial imagery. Coins bearing her name and likeness were issued to solidify her legitimacy and the strength of the ruling family.

The bronze coins of Theodora typically feature a dignified bust on the obverse, often wearing the traditional imperial headdress. The reverses frequently celebrate themes of stability, prosperity, and dynastic continuity, important messages during the turbulent early fourth century.

Certified by NGC, this coin is a tangible link to the later years of the Roman Empire, when political marriages and dynastic alliances were crucial to maintaining imperial authority. It’s a fascinating addition for collectors interested in the history of Roman empresses, the Tetrarchy, or the transition from the Classical to the Late Antique world.
