Julian II Æ 'Medallion' or solidus weight. Antioch, AD 361-363. FL CL IVLIANVS P F AVG, pearl-diademed, draped and cuirassed bust right / IVSTITIA, Justitia standing right, holding scales in right hand and scroll(?) in left; ANT in exergue. RIC -; C. -; Gnecchi -. 4.30g, 22mm, 11h.
Extremely Fine. Apparently unique and unpublished.
This highly interesting piece may have been distributed as a commemorative medallion or as part of an issue of largesse, however the reverse type is not particularly indicative of the latter. It does however bear remarkable similarity to the exagium solidi issues some four decades later, which portray Moneta standing with scales and cornucopiae, and its weight is consistent with the lighter end of Julian's solidi.
