Comments
This type is said to have been struck from the mid- to late-4th century. With Julian II only coming to power in 361, that is the most likely starting date for this type.
Various weights have been recorded of this type from 7.70 grams to 8.24 grams; various diameters of this type have been recorded of this type from 24 millimetres to 26 millimetres.
The denominations of bronze coins that are unknown to numismatists are referred to as Æ (AE), followed by the coin's diameter. The Æ part simply means the coin is made of a base alloy, and because the diameter of these coins is never exactly as intended, different numbers can appear after the Æ for the same type.
The exact lettering of the surrounding legend may vary; while some coins have legible legends, the legends of others may have been reduced to basically only lines.
