Hybrid - Jovianus - (Gloria romanorum)

Hi all,
let me introduce you that "strange" hybrid Ae3 with a reverse type from the Valentinian dynasty (GLORIA RO - MANORVM) minted a few months after Jovianus' death.

Ae3 Jovien - 2,8 g - 19 mm
A/ D N IOVIANV-S P F AVG, buste diadémé (perles) et drapé et cuirassé à gauche R/ GLORIA RO-MANORVM, l'Empereur avançant à droite portant le labarum et traînant un captif à genoux par les cheveux, SMKB à l’exergue – Cyzique – 364 – RIC. manque - Hybride énigmatique avers un revers postérieur au règne de Jovien (Valentinien – Valens)

Not sure, maybe one but from antioch ? No front legend

 

This is very strange: if an accidental pairing, you'd expect the Iovian obv to be paired with the earliest of the types for Valentinian, which was the RESTITVTOR REIP, a full emission of those being struck in the spring to summer of 364 for Valentinian.
