No legend of this type is listed in the works for Julian II. Either an error of the engraver, or a titulature unknown to the RIC. It only remains to find an identical die of reverse to confirm one or the other of these hypotheses.</p><p><br /></p><p>It&#039;s done at WildWinds:</p><p><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">http://www.wildwinds.com/coins/ric/julian_II/_arles_RIC_260v.jpg</a></p><p><br /></p><p>Both coins have the same observe but different reverse dies. This argues for an officialization of this legend, unpublished at the RIC and Ferrando.</p><p><br /></p><p>There is also a bronze on the reverse FEL TEMP REPARATIO, issued by the Rome mint, which also bears this anomaly of legend (see Nummus-Bible <a href="http://www.nummus-bible-database.com/connaie-21756.htm" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.nummus-bible-database.com/connaie-21756.htm" rel="nofollow">http://www.nummus-bible-database.com/connaie-21756.htm</a> )</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>
