Interesting fact
The Julian II Siliqua coin was minted during the reign of Emperor Julian II, also known as Julian the Apostate, who was the last non-Christian Roman Emperor. He attempted to revive paganism and restore the Roman Empire to its former glory, but his efforts ultimately failed. Despite this, his coinage remains a significant part of numismatic history and is highly sought after by collectors today.
