Interesting fact
The Nummus - Julianus II (FEL TEMP REPARATIO; Lugdunum) coin was part of a large-scale currency reform implemented by Emperor Julian II in 355 AD, which aimed to restore the Roman Empire's economy and military power. The coin's design and inscriptions reflect the reform's focus on military victory and the restoration of the Roman Empire's former glory. The coin's bronze composition and relatively low weight also reflect the empire's efforts to reduce production costs and increase the coin's portability.
