Roman Imperial | Julian II the Apostate | AE Centenionalis Coin

Description: Julian II the Apostate | AE Centenionalis Reference: RIC VIII 219 Date: 361-363 CE Obverse: DN FL CL IVLIANVS PF AVG, helmeted and cuirassed bust left holding spear and shield Reverse: VOT X MVLT XX, within wreath. ANTA in exergue Mint: Antioch Size: 17.1 mm Weight: 2.83 grams A nice bronze issue by the emperor Julian. The coin portrays Julian with a philosopher's beard and with a spear and sheild in hand. Quite the departure from the pious "eyes to god" look Constantine and his sons went for. Julian was the last remaining male relative of Constantine when Constantius II decided he needed a Caesar to look after the West. Julian dutifully took up the job, and successfully campaigned on the Germans on the Rhine. He was proclaimed Emperor by his troops and as chance would have it, Constantius II died before he could punish his up-start subordinate. Instead Julian, who'd pretended to be a Christian his whole life, ascended to the throne; said "jk lol" (or something to that effect, probably); and tried to make the empire pagan again. He failed and was ultimately fragged by his own soldier while on campaign against the Persians. ROUGH Policies I apply the highest ethical standards in selling ancient coins.
