Jovian Bronze Follis Very Fine - Good Very Fine

Emperor Jovian was a Roman emperor who reigned briefly from June 363 to February 364 AD. Born in 331 AD in Singidunum (modern-day Belgrade), Jovian was a senior officer in the Roman army under Emperor Julian. Following Julian’s death during a campaign against the Persians, Jovian was proclaimed emperor by his troops. His reign is noted for restoring Christianity as the empire’s favoured religion, reversing Julian’s attempts to revive paganism. Jovian secured a peace treaty with the Persian King Shapur II, ceding some territory to ensure the army’s safe retreat. He died unexpectedly after only eight months in power, under mysterious circumstances. We are offering Follis from his reign with the obverse showing the bust of the emperor and the reverse showing VOT V MVLT X. These follis come in “VERY Fine-Good Very Fine” grade.
