Roman Siliqua of Julian II ‘The Apostate’
This is a hammered silver siliqua coin dating from the reign of Roman Emperor Julian II, often referred to as ‘The Apostate’ due to his attempt to revive traditional Roman polytheism. The coin displays a portrait of Julian II, showcasing the artistic style prevalent in the late Roman Empire. Siliquae were a common denomination during this period, used for everyday transactions and representing a significant part of the Roman economy.
Condition and Collectibility
The coin exhibits signs of wear consistent with its age and circulation, and is partially broken. Despite this, it remains a fascinating artifact for collectors of Roman numismatics. Its historical significance, representing a pivotal moment in Roman religious and political history, makes it a desirable piece for those interested in ancient history and coinage.
