<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Valentinian, post: 2202891, member: 44316&quot;]I just added a nice coin of Jovian to my educational site about AE coins of Jovian:</p><p><br /></p><p><a href="http://esty.ancients.info/Jovian/Jovian.html" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://esty.ancients.info/Jovian/Jovian.html" rel="nofollow">http://esty.ancients.info/Jovian/Jovian.html</a></p><p><br /></p><p>It is this one:</p><p>[ATTACH=full]429356[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]429357[/ATTACH]</p><p>from Thessalonica, RIC Thessaloncia 239. Is is 21 mm, noticeably larger than most which are 19 mm. It also has the longer obverse legend with</p><p>PF PP</p><p>for Pius Felix Perpetuus (the Byzantine usage, not the &quot;Pater Patriae&quot; of the early empire)</p><p>instead of just PF which is more common.</p><p>&nbsp; If you collected Lincoln cents there would be certain years and mints you wanted. Here is an emperor whose whole reign was less than one year (27 June 363 - 16 Feb, 364). If someone collected only US coins and they were told this emperor ruled only eight months, they might expect his coins to be rare and expensive. Fortunately for us, they are not.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
