1 Siliqua in the name of Julian II

Julian II's siliqua coinage was extensively imitated by unofficial mints operating across the northwestern provinces during his reign and immediately after his death at Samarra in 363. These barbarous issues — struck in silver of varying fineness — proliferated because Julian's currency reforms had emphasized silver coinage at a moment when legitimate supply could not meet demand in frontier regions. RIC VIII 312 is the official Arles type against which this piece is compared, but the "cf" attribution signals the die work diverges enough to exclude it from any known official series.
