Coin of Julian (?)
ca. 360 CE (Late Antique)
bronze; struck
Obverse: Bust of Julian (?), diademed, draped, right. Reverse: Bull, right; beaded border.
The attribution of this heavily worn/over-cleaned coin to Julian is based solely on the vaguely-bearded portrait on the obverse and the figure of the bull on the reverse, which appears to match know Julian types closely. It is difficult to offer a clearer identification.
