Shield of Theodosius (SILVER)

Found near Merida in 1847, now in the Museum of the Royal Historical Academy at Madrid.

(Copied from A. Delgado’s ‘Memoria historico-critica sobre el gran disco di Teodosio,’ Madrid, 1849.)

Theodosius, seated on the central throne, receives from a nobleman of ‘illustrious’ rank an address, perhaps congratulating him on the decennalia of Arcadius (393). Arcadius is seated on his right, Honorius on his left, each attended by two protectores (guardsmen). In the lower part of the shield is the recumbent figure of Hispania, surrounded by emblems of prosperity. Above, ‘D(ominus) N(oster) Theodosius Perpet(uus) Aug(ustus) ob diem felicissimum X.’
