| Beschrijving keerzijde | A helmeted and cuirassed soldier, personifying the Virtus of the Roman army, stands facing left in a commanding pose, holding a spear in his right hand and resting his left on a shield. To his left stands a smaller captive figure, hands bound, representing a vanquished enemy. The composition conveys Roman martial supremacy. The mint mark ANTО (with officina letter) appears in the exergue, identifying the Antioch mint. The encircling Latin legend VIRTVS EXERCI-TVS ROMANORVM runs along the border within a beaded frame. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Julian II struck this solidus at Antioch during his preparation for the disastrous Persian campaign of 363 — the expedition that ended with his death from a javelin wound outside Samarra, the last pagan emperor of Rome dead in the field before his army could retreat. The Antioch mint was the logical production center for a military payroll issue of this type, positioned directly on the eastern supply corridor.
Julian's reign lasted just twenty months. The mint output at Antioch was necessarily compressed into that window, making coins attributable to his rule there relatively finite in number.
