| Beschrijving keerzijde | Four-line votive inscription VOT / X / MVLT / XX enclosed within a laurel wreath tied at the base with a ribbon and surmounted by a pellet within a crescent at the apex. The votive formula commemorates Julian's completion of ten years of reign and the aspiration for twenty years, a standard honorific expression on late Roman coinage. The officina letter and mintmark appear in the exergue, with PLVG for the first officina and SLVG for the second officina of the Lugdunum mint. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Julian struck these siliquae at Lugdunum following his proclamation as Augustus by his troops in 360 AD — an act that precipitated open conflict with Constantius II before the latter's death in 361 conveniently resolved the crisis. The VOT X MVLT XX legend carries an implicit problem: Julian was dead by 363, killed during his disastrous Persian campaign, meaning the prayers for a twentieth-anniversary vow were never answered and could never have been.
RIC VIII 234 is not especially rare, but Lugdunum issues from Julian's reign are noticeably better struck than contemporary eastern mint output.
