| Beschrijving keerzijde | A helmeted Roman soldier, draped and cuirassed, strides dynamically to the left, thrusting a spear downward with his right hand to pierce a fallen horseman beneath him; the soldier's left arm bears a large round shield, and an additional shield lies on the ground to the right. The fallen horseman, wearing a Phrygian cap, faces the soldier and raises his right arm in a gesture of supplication or surrender, evoking the FEL TEMP REPARATIO propaganda type. The control letter M appears in the left field, with the mint signature and officina letter inscribed in the exergue. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Julian II—later called "the Apostate" by Christian writers—was still Caesar under Constantius II when Nicomedia struck this issue, not yet the Augustus who would attempt to reverse decades of imperial Christianization. The FEL TEMP REPARATIO series was itself a Constantian propaganda program, the slogan translating roughly as "the restoration of happy times," a phrase that rings with some irony given the civil instability it papered over.
Nicomedia was among the most productive eastern mints of the period, and the M officina mark on this piece places it within a well-documented sequence. The mint was sacked and effectively closed following the earthquake of 358.
