Interesting fact
The Double Maiorina coin featuring Julianus II (361-363 AD) was part of a significant monetary reform implemented by the Roman Empire during his reign. The reform aimed to address the inflation and currency devaluation that had been ongoing for decades, and it introduced a new system of coinage that included the Double Maiorina, which was equivalent to two Maiorina coins and had a higher silver content than previous coins. This reform helped stabilize the Roman economy and paved the way for the empire's continued growth and prosperity.
