    Not a bad looking Julian II.

    Thanks, Bing! The coin actually looks better. Sorry, my photography skills are not that good:yuck: I was recently reading about Julian II, and he was quite unique. Now that my interest for ancients is increasing, I'm going through a bunch of coins I purchased years ago and discovering the little "treasures." Thanks again to all of you for sharing your knowledge!!
