Obverse of Julian II First Brass
|
363 - Coin of the Year - 363 A.D.
First Brass (AE1) of Julian II
We show a "First Brass" or "AE1" of Julian II facing right. A typical obverse legend would read DN FL CL IULIANUS PF AUG, but our spepcimen actually and clearly reads DN CL CL IULIANUS PF AUG, which we presume was a mint error.
The reverse shows a bull advancing right, with the legend SECURITAS REPUB, meaning "the security of the republic" rather than "it's safer back in the pub", with ANT G (gamma) in the exergue, indicating it was minted at Antioch in the fourth year of his reign 363 AD.
