Julian II ‘The Apostate’ Centenionalis Fine

Name: Julian II ‘The Apostate’ Centenionalis Fine
SKU: AJB2031
Price: 24.50 GBP

Continuing our series of the famous Constantinian Dynasty we offer Julian, the Last Pagan Emperor. Julian was born in A.D. 332, nephew to Constantine the Great. He was five years old when Constantine died, the sons of Constantine then murdered any rivals, including his father. The infant Julian was sent to be educated in Athens until A.D. 355 when Constantius II summoned him to deal with problems in the West. He was successful and so popular that the army later proclaimed him emperor, luckily Constantius II died in A.D. 361, resolving the issue. Julian tolerated all religions but is best known for attempting to reinstate the old Roman gods, earning the name Julian ‘The Apostate’ from later writers. His short reign ended when he died of wounds from a skirmish with the Sassanian army during an attempted invasion in A.D. 363. We offer bronze coins of Julian showing his portrait with various reverses. The coins presented here grade in Fine but there is a very limited number as Julian is not as easy to find as his cousins. We hope you get one!

Trebonianus Gallus Bronze Viminacium VG

Trebonianus Gallus was proclaimed emperor by the soldiers in A.D. 251 upon the death of Trajan Decius and Herennius Etruscus in the disastrous Battle of Abrittus. He spent his reign trying to stabilise the empire until he was killed by the usurper, Aemilian, in A.D. 253. At this time Viminacium was a city in Moesia Superior, modern Serbia. With 40,000 inhabitants it was given the right to mint local money. These Bronze coins are roughly 25mm and weight about 10g. They show Trebonianus Gallus’ head on the obverse with the goddess of Moesia on the reverse flanked by a lion and a bull. They grade Very Good and are priced accordingly. Trebonianus Gallus only ruled for two years, these will fill that gap in your collection well.
