NGC (XF) Roman AE of Jovian (AD363 -364) EXTREMELY FINE NGC Ancients Certified

NGC (XF) Roman AE of Jovian (AD 363 -364). Jovian was a general born in modern day Belgrade, Serbia to the bodyguard of the commander of Emperor Constantius II.

He was a member of the imperial bodyguard, accompanying Emperor Julian on his campaign opposing the Sasanian Empire. Julian was killed in battle, and the defeated army declared Jovian his successor. Unable to cross the Tigris, Jovian disengaged his troops from enemy territory by making peace with the Sasanids on humiliating terms. He spent the rest of his eight-month reign on the journey 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. Graded XF (Extremely Fine) and Certified by NGC.
