Julian II — the last pagan emperor — issued this bronze during his brief reign while systematically dismantling Constantius II's Christian court appointments and reopening temples closed under his predecessor. The enlarged module was a deliberate policy revival, echoing the heavy bronze coinage of the Constantinian period that had been progressively debased across the 350s. Julian's monetary reforms were part of a broader program of restoration — administrative, religious, and economic simultaneously.
He died from a spear wound outside Samarra in June 363, less than two years into his reign, ending both the reforms and the Constantinian dynasty itself.
