[QUOTE="ambr0zie, post: 7942167, member: 80952"]My Julian II coin can compete with any coin in the world in terms of ugliness. [ATTACH=full]1374846[/ATTACH] However I consider this one of my best buys (one of the cheapest Julian II double maiorinas). I strongly suspect that the remarkable ugliness in Julian's portrait is not caused only by wear/damage, I think the coin did not exactly resemble an accurate Julian image from the dies. Here is my very first ancient coin [ATTACH=full]1374847[/ATTACH] Julian II as Caesar RIC VIII Arelate 270 or 271 or 273 or 274 Date Range: AD 355 - AD 360 Obverse Legend: D N IVLIAN-VS NOB CAES Type: Bust of Julian, bareheaded, draped, cuirassed, right Reverse Legend: FEL TEMP - REPARATIO Type: Soldier, helmeted, draped, cuirassed, advancing left, spearing fallen horseman with right hand and wearing shield on left arm; shield on ground to right; horseman wearing a pointed cap, turning to face soldier, extending right arm.
