Julian struck these vow coins at Arles — then Arelate — during his brief sole reign after Constantius II died in November 361, conveniently sparing both men the spectacle of civil war. The VOT X MVLT XX formula prayed for ten years fulfilled and twenty wished, an optimistic calculation that his death on campaign against the Sassanids in June 363 rendered grotesque. He ruled as Augustus for precisely nineteen months.
