After the death of Julian II in AD 363, it was rumoured that Procopius had been named successor but the army selected Jovian. Three years later, Procopius and his dwindling army tried to confront the new emperor Valens, but he was captured after the battle of Nacolia in Summer 366 and executed.

Nice one!

Funny enough, I actually dredged up old images of mine while looking for other pics in my photobucket. Beginner's luck; I spotted this one in a mixed lot on ebay and won it for peanuts.
