We show a First Brass or AE1 of Julian II facing right. A typical obverse legend would read DN FL CL IULIANUS PF AUG, but our spepcimen actually and clearly reads DN CL CL IULIANUS PF AUG, which we presume was a mint error.
The reverse shows a bull advancing right, with the legend SECURITAS REPUB, meaning the security of the republic rather than it's safer back in the pub, with ANT G (gamma) in the exergue, indicating it was minted at Antioch in the fourth year of his reign 363 AD.
