The good relationship between the two Roman Emperors was good news in the recent affairs between the two halves of the Roman Empire, and was used in imperial propaganda. Anthemius had his mints (at [Mediolanum](/wiki/Mediolanum "Mediolanum"), [Ravenna](/wiki/Ravenna "Ravenna") and [Rome](/wiki/Rome "Rome")) issue *[solidi](/wiki/Solidus_%28coin%29 "Solidus (coin)")* depicting the two Emperors joining hands in a show of unity.

Anthemius had restored his court in Rome, and thus this mint became more and more important, overshadowing the other two mints.

Some coins are in the name of his wife [Marcia Euphemia](/wiki/Marcia_Euphemia "Marcia Euphemia"); among these there is a *solidus* depicting two Empresses on the thrones, probably a reference to Alypia's marriage.
