Beschrijving keerzijde Full-length frontal figure of Emperor Jovian, head turned to the right, depicted draped and cuirassed in military attire. In his right hand he holds a legionary standard (vexillum or labarum), while his extended left hand supports a small globe surmounted by a Victory figure holding a wreath and palm branch, emblematic of Roman martial triumph. The composition reflects the late antique artistic convention of the emperor as divinely sanctioned military victor. The surrounding field carries the legend VICTORIA ROMANORVM, and the mintmark appears in the exergue, identifying the Antioch third officina (ANTΓ). The overall design conveys the ideological message of Rome's enduring military supremacy under the new Christian emperor.

Aanvullende informatie

Jovian's reign lasted barely eight months — long enough to negotiate a humiliating peace with Shapur II that surrendered Nisibis and fifteen other fortresses to Sassanid Persia, the most damaging territorial concession Rome had made in generations. The double maiorina issues struck at Antioch belong entirely to this brief window, making them among the shortest-dated types in the late imperial series by any administrative reign.

Antioch was the logical mint for a reign that began and ended in the East; Jovian died at Dadastana in early 364 before ever reaching Constantinople.
