  3. Beautiful collection, and your Aelia Flaccilla is just eye popping!

    I don't have much in this period, but have this solidus of Honorius struck at the Rome mint @405 CE.

  4. Coin looks genuine.  No bronze disease. I'm guessing some tooling on reverse.

    Check out V-coins and MA-shops -  you'll find very reputable dealers there you can trust. There is always a possibility that a forgery may come up for sale -  no one is perfect. But at least the dealers on these fora are honest and trusted and would not intentionally try to deceive you.

    And speaking of Nero, he is famous for his dying words, which he most likely never uttered... " Oh, what an artist dies in me! "
