[removed old photobucket link] Think one may be Valens and another Julian II but don't know which is which. Can anyone help? regards Windsor87 Report this Post to the Staff

Windsor87 New Member United Kingdom 3 Posts	Posted 09/01/2008 4:01 pm Thanks for the welcome. Here are the coins. I think this one may be Julian II?: I'm really not so sure about this one though. Constantine II does ring some bells though: Hope these pictures are better. regards Windsor87 Report this Post to the Staff

echizento Moderator United States 23731 Posts	Posted 09/01/2008 9:58 pm I think you are correct that it is Julian II, I can just make out DN IV, and the reverse matches one that was used. Emperor standing left holding globe and spear. I'm still going with Claudius II and the second one. Try soaking them in olive oil for a month or so it should be able to remove some of the dirt and you would see more detail. Report this Post to the Staff
