Obverse description Diademed, draped, and cuirassed bust of Julian II facing right, wearing a pearl diadem and military cloak fastened at the shoulder. The emperor is depicted with a full beard, characteristic of Julian's iconography and his philosophical affectations, distinguishing him from his clean-shaven predecessors. The portrait exhibits the confident, high-relief modeling typical of the Sirmium mint. The legend encircles the bust in Latin capitals. The overall style reflects the late Roman imperial portrait tradition of the fourth century.
