NGC (VF) Roman AE3 of Jovian (AD 363 -364) VERY FINE NGC Ancients Certified

NGC (VF) Roman AE of Jovian (AD 363-364). Jovian was a general born in modern day Belgrade, Serbia to the commander of Emperor Constantius II's bodyguard. As part of the imperial bodyguard, he accompanied Emperor Julian on his campaign against the Sasanian Empire. Julian was killed in battle, and the exhausted and ill-provisioned army declared Jovian his successor.

Unable to cross the Tigris, Jovian extricated his troops from enemy territory by making peace with the Sasanids on humiliating terms. He spent the rest of his eight-month reign traveling back to Constantinople.

After his arrival at Edessa, Jovian was petitioned by bishops over doctrinal issues concerning Christianity. He died at Dadastana, never having reached the capital.
