<p>[QUOTE=&quot;kaparthy, post: 3335189, member: 57463&quot;]Well, Doug, I am sort of taken aback. I mean, it is a challenge, like &quot;Show Us Your Barbarous Radiates&quot; not that those are the only coins that ever could matter. </p><p><br /></p><p>Just to offer some context, you cannot bring 10,000 coins to a club meeting and spend 10,000 hours telling everything you know about them. Take my Julian II. I gave it a passing entry and said nothing more. You and I and most others here know the history (or can find it easily enough if they care). We try not to step on toes here lest GDSTMP will weigh in, but one reason that Flavius Claudius Julianus wanted to restore pagan worship was to put an end to roving mobs of Christians killing each other in the streets over dogma. So, for me he stands in for the entire line of Constantines who were integral to that chaos. And that is a story that I can tell at a club meeting -- if I wanted to make everyone angry at me...</p><p><br /></p><p>As for the coin itself, I bought it in 2007 from Newgate and attitributed it as an AE1 D N FL CL IVLIANVS P F AVG / Bull right, two stars above, SECVRITAS REPVB above, NIKE (mint Nikeopolis) in exergue.&nbsp; However, now, it gets a somewhat different identification. My coin is 25 mm and 9.1 grams. But Washington Galleries called their 27mm, 7.42 grams a &quot;double maiorina&quot; and VA identified their 8.18 grammer as a &quot;Double Centenionalis.&quot; Those are attempts at fiduciary identifications with meanings in macro-economics. Maybe we know more now than we did in 2007, or maybe not...[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
