Julianus II ( A.D.), AE1 Nicomedia .Obverse: DN FL CL IVLI-ANVS PF AVG; draped bust with cuirass and pearl diadem to the rightReverse: SECVRITAS REI PVB; in trim: NIKA between palm branches; Bull standing to the right, two stars aboveRef: RIC mm, 8.58 g.The reverse side has a bull as a symbol for the 'security of the Empire' (Securitas Rei Publicae). The bull is undeniably a pagan coin type - Julianus II, descendant of the Christian dynasty of Constantine - attempted to return paganism to the empire. Some say the bull refers to the hope-bringing discovery of an 'Apis bull' in Egypt. That happened in 362 according to historian Ammianus Marcellinus. This interpretation has many supporters, but there has also been doubt. According to others the bull is Julianus II's zodiac sign (Taurus), but this is not known from antique sources. Others say the bull is nothing more than a symbol for the emperor, who guarantees security for the empire (compare RIC p.47).Authenticity guaranteed.Please see the images for your own impression.Lot will be shipped registered.
