The eldest son of Theodosius I from Spain, Arcadius became augustus at the age of six. When his father left to end the usurpation of Eugenius and did not return, Arcadius remained in Constantinople in his stead and became augustus of the East at eighteen, while his brother Honorius got the West. The empire was now divided, Theodosius I was first seen as the unifier and then as the one who divided it forever. From this time on, the two empires had independent lives and slowly became more and more distinct from each other, and Arcadius was recognized as the first Byzantine emperor. Initially Arcadius reigned under his patron Rufinus, an ambitious politician from Aquitaine who frowned upon his equivalent in the West, Stilicho. The latter made a secret agreement with the Visigoth leader Gainas, who had been welcomed to Constantinople by Arcadius, and killed Rufinus. Stilicho thus prevailed in this dispute but was sentenced to death in 408, accused among other things of the murder of Rufinus himself. His place was then taken by the eunuch Eutropius, remembered in the sources as a cruel and vicious man. Eutropius tried to forge an alliance with Alaric, who now hold the balance of power between East and West. By putting his opponents to death and confiscating their wealth, he succeeded in getting Stilicho declared a public enemy and bring Africa under the control of the East in order to secure its grain, bringing the West to its knees and starving it. In any case, Arcadius was persuaded by the court to get Eutropius, who was in fact acting as the real emperor, out of the way and hit with damnatio memoriae as well. In his place was chosen Gainas himself, the Visigoth leader, who, however, was short-lived. The anti-barbarian mood that was fueled by influential figures, such as Patriarch John Chrysostom, resulted in a revolt in Constantinople against the Goths and, therefore, also against Gainas, and led to a massacre of the barbarians and the escape of their leader. At this point the reins of the empire were taken over by the emperor's wife, Aelia Eudoxia, as Arcadius proved incapable of governing. Aelia pushed Alaric to invade the West, receiving in turn fierce criticism from the patriarch and the hatred of much of the people. However, she died in 404 from an abortion, while Arcadius died of illness four years later.

AI Recommendation
Para estimar un precio máximo de compra para la moneda en cuestión, podemos considerar varios factores:
1. Precio de salida: 600 euros.
2. Precio medio de remate: 713.12 euros. Este es un buen indicador del valor real de la moneda en subastas anteriores.
3. Conservación: La moneda tiene una conservación de 90 (extremely fine), lo que indica que está en muy buen estado. Esto generalmente aumenta su valor en comparación con monedas de menor conservación.
4. Historial de subastas: La moneda ha sido subastada 92 veces, con un alto porcentaje de ventas (84 de 92), lo que sugiere que hay un interés constante en esta referencia.
Dado que el precio medio de remate es superior al precio de salida y considerando la buena conservación de la moneda, un precio estimado máximo de compra podría situarse en un rango superior al precio medio de remate, pero no demasiado por encima del precio de salida.
Teniendo en cuenta todos estos factores, un precio estimado máximo de compra podría ser alrededor de 800 a 850 euros. Esto refleja tanto el interés en la moneda como su buena conservación.
