Excellent group! I have none so nice and no Lugdunum so I'll just tack on a siliqua from Arles.

 

Are you collect all possible mints Tejas? Very nice examples.
I have a couple:

 

I somehow liked the nummi of Julian II and bought examples that I particularly liked over many years. At some point I realised that I had almost all the mints and thought it would be nice to complete the series so I bought a few coins just because they came from missing mints.

 

People seem to have different views about desert patina. I would prefer the two coins not having this patina, but instead show the naturally toned bronze surface, but I guess this is a matter of taste.

 

Here is an example from Lyon, which apparently a member of this forum has in his collection:

Great collection! I haven't come across anyone collecting a mint set of these types yet.

Bull standing right w/ 2 stars above, wreath in lower right field, SECVRITAS REIPVB. In exergue: TCON [TERTIA CONSTANTINA = Third officina in Arles]. RIC VIII 313, 28 mm., 7.0 g.

Q

 

Y'alls beard...I mean coin...game is strong! You are doing Julian The Apostate proud!

 

Here are two bronzes from Rome with the rather specifically Italian light green-brownish patina:

VRB . ROM . [...], second group cca. mid 361 - mid. 363, possibly 362:





ROMA . Q, possibly early to mid 363:

 

Here's an Aquileia mint Falling Horseman of Julian II as Caesar, a fairly scarce issue...

 

Here is my only Julian II nummi I have.

 

I’ll throw another Heraclea on bcuda’s example.

Those OP examples are amazing—each more impressive than the previous one. I love @Tejas’s LRBs.
