A fragment from a silver Roman siliqua of unclear type, possibly Julian II (AD 355-363) and perhaps dating to the period c.AD 360-363 (Reece period 18). VOT/[]/MVLT/[] reverse type depicting the legend within a wreath. The bust appears to be bearded, which suggests Julian rather than one of the later Theodosian issues.
