Pretty mushy legend but I think the portrait is pretty good. AE Sestertius, A.D. 193, Rome, 27.5mm, 13.35g, ~10°, RIC IVi 16a; Very rare. Obv: IMP CAES M DID SEVER IVLIAN AVG. Laureate head right. Rev: RECTOR ORBIS. Julianus standing left, holding globe and scroll. Edited by MartiVltori 10/24/2023 01:16 am Report this Post to the Staff

Very nice looking with a very genuine looking patina I'm growing very cynical in my old age . but I am seeing far too many bronzes with fake patinas Report this Post to the Staff
