Sale: Nomos 1, Lot: 174. Ex Leu 72, 12 May 1998, 558. From the collections of a Gentleman and of G. Lacam, DÜrr/Michel, 8 November 1999, 173. Eudoxia was the daughter of Bauto the Frank who was consul in 385. She had a comfortable upbringing and was in close touch with the imperial family; she came in contact with Arcadius who married her on 27 April 395. They had seven children of whom four daughters and one son, Theodosius II, survived infancy; Eudoxia was proclaimed Augusta on 9 January 400 and unexpectedly died in childbirth in 404. She was a powerful personality who was much involved in church affairs, leading to a serious conflict with the outspoken and opinionated Archbishop of Constantinople, John Chrysostom, which led to his banishment.
