Follis - Jovianus VOT V MVLT X, Antioch

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.
