Augustus Maximus Pillar of the Community Italy 1790 Posts	Posted 02/12/2015 10:41 pm At first I was going to say Hannibalianus but its Julian II . Julian was the last polytheist Emperor of the Empire and died very young in 363 CE. Fun fact Constantius II had Julian's entire male family members murdered . This coin was minted while he was Caesar or Junior Emperor of the west. Also I think it's a standard Fel Temp type. Very nice btw .

chuy1530 Pillar of the Community United States 513 Posts	Posted 02/12/2015 10:45 pm That's a great period in history. Constantius II made Julian a co-emperor and put him in charge of the West, but after a while the two wound up at odds with each other. They were in the middle of a civil war when Constantius II died, but since he hadn't updated his will upon his death the empire was still left to Julian II. Report this Post to the Staff
