Julian II (Apostate) - To stevex6 (and anyone else)

Hi, (Steve),
Like me, you buy coins that you like the look of, (rather than 'rarity').

I just liked the look of Julian's expression. It is different to most of his coins. He seems to be facing left but looking sideways at you. He also seems to be 'haggard' as if after a battle.
Julian II Apostate, 362-363AD. AE20.3mm., 2.11gm.
Obv: DN FL CL IVLIANVS PF AVG, pearl-diademed, helmeted and cuirassed bust left, holding spear and shield
Rev: VOT X MVLT XX in four lines within laurel wreath.
Mintmark palm branch-BSISC-dot. Siscia.

Very cool OP-addition, Topcat ... I agree that he seems to watching you, eh? (with attitude!!)



Hey coincidentally, I also have a cool example of this type (wanna see it?)



great coin => hey, we're coin-brothers!!

 

Yay! Bro!

I like the expression on his face in your coin, too. After another battle, perhaps?

 

Always in the mood for more coins of Emperor Julian.

Lovely coin, TC!

 

Good OP coin.

 

i have a rough julian ii vot, but i can't find my pic! here's a jovian vot....kind of close.

 

Neat find. Can't find a pic of my VOT

 

Or smoking 'things" !

Nice strange sideways looking portrait on that coin, for sure

Cool portraits guys----very expressive!

My only photographed example is a 'bull variety' with a stern kind of portrait expression.
