Julian II AE3 as Caesar - Fallen Horseman

Doug has the other kind of bulls, unfortunately. Six different mints' junkers; no real nice ones but a couple are OK. The first one was $7.99 postpaid off eBay in 2012. It was a new seller and people do not like new sellers. It has a lot of detail but damage to the face.




I hate to be difficult re: the OP but I read DN FL CL .... NOB CAES. That could be Julian but those names belong to Gallus as well. I don't see Arles from the photo so I'll leave it as a coin that need more study for proper ID. I'd start by finding photos of both portraits and trying to ID the mint. I want to say Rome but I'm tired tonight and may not see straight.

 

Hmmm, I do believe Doug is right again----It even resembles Gallus more than Julian at second look.

 

I told you Doug had some nice ones.

 

Sweet new Julian II, Gil-galad ... man, how many coins did you buy on your spree?

I have a bull-example as well (go figure, eh?)



.... moo

 

I was thinking Rome as well Doug.

I wasn't thinking!

 

HEY!!! I know that guy----He's got my shirt on!!

 

here's on of mine...

 

Very nice Julian II bull coins. That's one reverse type I don't have.

 

I've gotten about 10 coins this month, so far. About 6 last month. I've also been reshooting some coins and there were some in my desk that have been sitting there for a long time.

 

I'm definitely going to be studying the coin more as what you guys said is making sense. Thing is that a thick letter looked more like a "I" than a "C" at first, but I think you guys are right about it.

This is my very first Julian II coin. It is a reshoot. The patina is kind of flaky though.
