The sister of Emperor Theodosius II, Aelia Pulcheria, was a major force in the life of the young emperor. Governing him as a young man until he came of age, Pulcheria prepared the emperor for his duties and served as a constant guiding voice and counselor to him. Present throughout his accomplishments and major events, Pulcheria eventually emerged the victor in the rivalry that developed between her and her brother’s wife, Aelia Eudocia, who was consequently dismissed from court. While she was a teenager, Pulcheria took a vow of virginity which she maintained until her death. This dedication to God inspired some of Theodosius’ imperial propaganda during wars with the Sasanian Persians, and the Romans considered Pulcheria’s pious dedication of her virginity to be a source of blessing upon the Empire from God. Theodosius died unexpectedly after being mortally injured during a hunting accident in AD 450. Upon his death, Pulcheria was tasked with appointing his successor. She chose a man of Roman stock, though not of nobility, named Marcian. She married the new emperor on the condition that he not make her violate her vow of virginity, to which Marcian agreed. This unconventional marriage was made possible by church officials, who sponsored the agreement and decreed that God approved of the union and arrangement. Description

Para estimar un precio máximo de compra para la moneda en cuestión, podemos considerar varios factores basados en los datos proporcionados:
1. Precio de salida: 2876.25 euros.
2. Precio medio de salida en subastas anteriores: 2975.29 euros.
3. Precio medio de remate en subastas anteriores: 4831.17 euros.
4. Conservación de la moneda: 90 (EF), que indica una buena conservación.
Dado que la moneda tiene una buena conservación (EF) y ha tenido un precio medio de remate significativamente más alto que el precio de salida, podemos inferir que hay un potencial de aumento en el precio de remate.
Considerando que el precio medio de remate es casi el doble del precio medio de salida, y que la conservación es buena, un precio estimado máximo de compra podría situarse en un rango entre el precio medio de remate y el precio de salida.
