<p>[QUOTE=&quot;SIliquae, post: 2462338, member: 76032&quot;]Mine is very scarce, same officina of mint of Arelate. I know only 2 of it with this legend of the reverse (NB in place of NOB).</p><p><br /></p><p><b>JULIEN II&nbsp; - ARLES - RIC VIII 264-Var</b></p><p><img src="http://www.siliques.fr/SILIQUAE_WEB/image_grande/01594.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>Siliqua, 355-360, <b>R5</b></p><p>A/ <b>D N IVLIANV-S NB CAES</b></p><p>Dominus Noster Iulianus Nob Caesar, Notre Seigneur Julien noble César</p><p>Buste à droite, drapé et cuirassé, tête nue.</p><p>R/ <b>VOTIS/V/MVLTIS/X//TCON</b></p><p>Votis quinquennalibus/Multis decennalibus, Vœux pour le cinquième anniversaire de règne et plus pour les dix ans à venir</p><p>Légende en 4 lignes dans une couronne de lauriers fermée.</p><p>Argent - 2.14 gr - 19.35 mm - 1h</p><p><i><b>RIC VIII 264-Var, RSC ,&nbsp; FERRANDO II MANQUE</b></i></p><p><b><u><br /></u></b></p><p><b><u>Comments :</u></b></p><p>A very close copy of the official coin, so much by the graphics, the portrait or the legends, if it is not in the lapel the absence of the &quot;O&quot; in the legend in NB CAES. No legend of this type is listed for Julien II. Either an error of the engraver, or an unknown titulature of the RIC. It remains only to find a identical die right to confirm the one or other one of these hypotheses.</p><p><br /></p><p>I found one, see WildWinds : <a href="http://www.wildwinds.com/coins/ric/julian_II/_arles_RIC_260v.jpg" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.wildwinds.com/coins/ric/julian_II/_arles_RIC_260v.jpg" rel="nofollow">ici</a></p><p><br /></p><p>Both coins have the same die for the observ but the two reverse have differents dies. What pleads for an officialization of this titulature, new in the RIC and in the Ferrando.</p><p><br /></p><p>There is also a bronze with the reverse FEL TEMP REPARATIO, struck by the mint of Rome, whith also this anomaly of titulature (see <a href="http://www.nummus-bible-database.com/monnaie-21756.htm" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.nummus-bible-database.com/monnaie-21756.htm" rel="nofollow">Nummus-Bible</a>&nbsp; ).</p><p><br /></p><p><a href="http://www.siliques.fr/SILIQUAE_WEB/fichemonnaie/01594.htm" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.siliques.fr/SILIQUAE_WEB/fichemonnaie/01594.htm" rel="nofollow">Fiche de la monnaie sur la base Siliquae</a>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
