Wow! what a stunner - that is one awesome roman silver! in such beautiful condition. I think that is the best roman silver I have seen on here. It's just so extra Roman somehow? Banner - Nuggy

Yes a very nice coin, but I like this one better

Actually Jimmy, on reflection, Your Siliqua is even better than l first thought, Almost all that l have seen before have been "clipped" some quite badly. yours seems to be un clipped. which is very rare!!

I don't think 'very rare' is the right expression here, it might be very rare to find one, but the coin is not classified as very rare & nor is it always heavily clipped. I only have 3 Julian but none are heavily clipped, its the Valens & Honorius that seem to get the most attention.

It is however in very good nick & will probably take some years to better

About 3/4 of the way down the page sits your coin, I think yours is in better condition

Nearly right...it is Julian Siliqua AD 360 - 363 as said above...Obverse Legend: FL CL IVLIANVS P P AVG. Reverse legend.VOTIS V MVLTIS X; LVG in exergue and the Mint is indeed Lugdunum (Lyons)

Nice coin Jimmy

Spot-on SS, just add RIC VIII 218 or 219 like Sears(88) 4071.
