VisigothKing Pillar of the Community United States 4778 Posts	Posted 07/29/2013 11:47 am Ok, not a monster or anything (27 mm), but still is larger than most LRB's Can't wait to have it in hand. Quote: Jovian (Latin: Flavius Jovianus Augustus; 331 â€" 17 February 364) was Roman Emperor from 363 to 364. Upon the death of emperor Julian the Apostate during his campaign against the Sassanid Empire, Jovian was hastily declared emperor by his soldiers. He sought peace with the Persians on humiliating terms and reestablished Christianity as the state church. His reign only lasted eight months. - Wikipedia Jovian, Roman Emperor (ruled 363-364 AD) AE1 Obv: DN IOVIANVS PF PP AVG, rosette diademed, draped, cuirassed, bust right Rev: VICTORIA ROMANORVM, emperor standing right, holding labarum in right hand and Victory on globe in left, TES Gamma in ex, Thessalonica mint RIC 234 Report this Post to the Staff
