Photo is not good for identification...sorry...but after posting to this forum a few times I am getting the hang of identifying the Roman Coins after I clean them up. Seems I have encountered Julian II and Delmatius for the first time. Thanks to everyone who gave tips on fragmentary characters and other oddities.
I cannot see them that clearly. Julian II, (the apostate), almost always has a beard. He was known for it, and was made fun of in Constantius II's court as the "goat man". Julian was the last pagan emperor, and are always desirable.
Julian's beard does not appear on coins until he became Augustus upon the death of Constantius II and, if there is a difference, his coins as Caesar are more common. The bearded coins are very different from the earlier issues with new types and denominations while poor condition coins of Julian Caesar can be mistaken for Constantius Gallus (his predecessor) sharing the types used by ConstantiusII (whose coins can be separated with no legend since his portrait wears a diadem or wreath while the Caesars appeared bare headed. The photo here are bad enough I can't say what they are. These appear to be scans made with the B&W setting rather than grayscale - suitable for text but not for coins.
Thanks Doug, I was not aware of that. I have a few with the beard I got with others over the years, and had not studied earlier issues of his.
