Theodosius II ( 10 April 401 – 28 July 450), called "the Calligrapher",[a] was Roman emperor from 402 to 450. He was proclaimed Augustus as an infant and ruled as the Eastern Empire's sole emperor after the death of his father Arcadius in 408. His reign was marked by the promulgation of the Theodosian law code and the construction of the Theodosian walls of Constantinople. He also presided over the outbreak of two great Christological controversies, Nestorianism and Eutychianism.
Early life
Theodosius was born on 10 April 401 as the only son of Emperor Arcadius and his wife Aelia Eudoxia.[4] On 10 January 402, at the age of 9 months, he was proclaimed co-augustus by his father  ,thus becoming the youngest to bear the imperial title up to that point. On 1 May 408, his father died and the seven-year-old boy became the sole emperor of the Eastern half of the Roman Empire.  the coin above is a Prutah is the smallest Roman coin.  In the Roman Province of Judea it was sometimes called a Widows Mite from Scripture.
