<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Magnus Maximus, post: 2454486, member: 73473&quot;]I purchased this coin a local coin show a few weeks ago and have just now gotten around to photographing it. </p><p><br /></p><p>It seems that there is a die error on the obverse near the upper Diademed and on the reverse near the upper area of the wreath. The coin is also worn a bit, a very unusual feature for a Siliqua. The wear only adds character in my opinion, who knows maybe this coin was used to pay the Comitatensis that revolted with Julian against Constantius!?&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>I have another Julian, though it is from Trier, and would like to add a nicer one sometime soon. If you guys could keep your eyes open for a nice Julian as Augustus or Caesar Siliquae, and notify me if you see one that would be much appreciated.</p><p><br /></p><p>Anyway I bought this coin after I was having a crappy day, I had just gotten blown out of the water&nbsp; in a Baldwins auction and my uncle had died a day before. It was a hard time but this little guy helped to bring me out of it in one piece. </p><p><br /></p><p>Here is the coin</p><p>[ATTACH=full]513319[/ATTACH] </p><p>[ATTACH=full]513320[/ATTACH] </p><p>Julian II AR Siliqua </p><p>1.83 grams</p><p>TCON=Arles mint</p><p>Seat #4071</p><p>RIC 297[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
