Anthemius had his mints (at [[Mediolanum]], [[Ravenna]] and [[Rome]]) issue ''[[solidus (coin)|solidi]]'' 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]]; among these there is a ''solidus'' depicting two Empresses on the thrones, probably a reference to Alypia's marriage.
