| Beschrijving voorzijde | Right-facing draped and cuirassed bust of Emperor Jovianus, adorned with a pearl diadem, rendered in the standard late Roman imperial portrait style. The effigy occupies the central field, with the imperial legend arranged around the periphery. The portrait conveys the conventional attributes of imperial authority — military dress beneath a civilian paludamentum — consistent with fourth-century Roman bronze coinage. The obverse legend DN IOVIANVS PF AVG runs around the bust, identifying the emperor as Dominus Noster with the epithets Pius Felix Augustus. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Jovian's reign lasted just eight months — long enough only to negotiate a humiliating peace with Shapur II that surrendered Nisibis and fifteen other fortresses, reversing decades of Roman gains in the east. The VOT V MVLT X vow legend on this issue is almost darkly ironic: a prayer for five years of rule and anticipation of ten, from an emperor who died in February 364, likely from carbon monoxide poisoning from a charcoal brazier, before reaching Constantinople.
The Antioch mint was still the closest major imperial facility to the Persian frontier, which explains its role striking this type during the army's retreat.
