Normally those late Siliqua are heavily clipped & yours only shows signs of light clipping, so thats nice.
It's a Honorius.

Congrats.

I was hoping for an ID, should've known you'd have one.
Hope you and your dad are all good[emoji106]

Full ID other than I can't see the mintmark on the reverse in the exergue;

Honorius AR Siliqua. AD397-406
Obverse: DN HONORIVS PF AVG, diademed draped bust right
Reverse: VIRTVS ROMANORVM, Roma seated left holding Victory and inverted spear

Might be Milan mint?

We are doing OK, & had a pretty good hunt today, will post later.
