Licinia Eudoxia

See also: Eudoxie

Licinia Eudoxia (422 - 462) is the girl of Théodose II and Aelia Eudocia.

In October 437 with Constantinople, she married her cousin Valentinien III, emperor of Occident, and followed it to Ravenne into 438. She gave him two girls, Eudoxie and Placidie.

After the assassination of her husband, it was forced to marry its successor Pétrone Maxime, who was avenged thus for the rape of his wife by Valentinien, and which was probable murderer of this prince. To be avenged, it invited in Italy Genséric, king of the Vandale S, who ransacked Rome (455), but which took it along itself in Roman Africa. It recovered its freedom afterwards only seven years.

Some currencies were struck with its effigy, of face according to the presentation which will take the Byzantine currencies, and with Christian emblems:
  • SALVS REIPVBLICAE, with Eudoxie sitting, holding cross and sphere surmounted of cross
  • VOT (is) XXX MVLT (is) (Wish that 30 years of reign multiply in 40 years), showing Eudoxie upright with a sceptre and Valentinien with a surmounted sphere of a cross
