| Beschrijving keerzijde | A helmeted, draped, and cuirassed Roman soldier stands facing right with head turned left, placing his right hand upon the head of a crouching barbarian captive kneeling at his feet. Over his left shoulder he carries a trophy in transverse position, symbolizing Roman military victory. The exergue contains the mintmark flanked by palm branches, denoting the Constantinople mint. The bold legend VIRTVS EXERCI-TVS ROMANORVM encircles the composition within a beaded border, celebrating the valor and excellence of the Roman army. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Julian II issued this solidus during his brief reign following the death of Constantius II, a period in which he aggressively courted military loyalty by invoking old Roman martial virtues his predecessor had largely abandoned in favor of Christian imagery. The VIRTVS EXERCITVS ROMANORVM type was part of that calculated appeal — struck at Constantinople to signal continuity with the eastern capital while Julian himself was preparing his catastrophic Persian campaign of 363.
He died from a spear wound during the retreat from Ctesiphon, ending both the reign and the pagan restoration he had staked it on. Gold solidi of his reign had fewer than three years to accumulate.
