Julian II "The Apostate" Bronze AE3 (AD 361-363) — Last Pagan Roman Emperor NGC Certified
NGC certified bronze from Julian II, history's last non-Christian Roman emperor. Known as "Julian the Apostate," this philosopher-king's 18-month reign (361-363 AD) was the final desperate attempt to reverse Constantine's Christianization of Rome.
Coin Design
• Obverse: Bearded Julian II portrait right — unusual philosopher-emperor style + titles
• Reverse: Traditional Roman religious imagery, military symbols, or pagan personifications
Technical Specifications
• Material: Late Roman bronze alloy
• Denomination: AE3 (small circulating bronze)
• Certification: NGC authenticated
• Reign: 361-363 AD — last pagan stand
Final Pagan Counter-Revolution
- Raised Christian, secretly converted to traditional Roman religion
- Implemented tolerance favoring paganism over Christianity
- Philosopher-emperor like Marcus Aurelius — wrote works still studied
- Killed in Persian campaign 363 AD — ended pagan restoration forever
Historic Last Stand
Julian's brief rule = final gasp of ancient Roman religion against Christian tide. Last emperor to reject the faith that would define Western civilization.
