ΙΟΥΛΙΑΝΟΣ ΚΑΤΑ ΧΡΙΣΤΙΑΝΩΝ - Roman Imperial Julian II - ΑΝΤΙΟΧΕΙΑ [Antioch]
This coin shows the distinct Antiochian portrait of Julian, with a very prominent long philosopher's beard.
The contemporaries often made fun of the emperor's disheveled appearance, in particular the inhabitants of Antiochia, where the Julian resided since summer 362 to prepare for the upcoming campaign against the Sasanids.
In reaction to the scorn poured on him by the local Christian population at the New Year's festival of 363, the emperor wrote his famous satirical essay ΜΙΣΟΠΩΓΩΝ-Misopogon [ Beard-hater ] in January-February of the same year, in which he mocked his own appearance while also condemning the hypocrisy and degeneracy of the Antiochians.
[ Anyone who takes to reading Julian's Misopogon will certainly find several points to underline with the pencil. ]
Προσπάθησε να επαναφέρει την ειδωλολατρία στην Αυτοκρατορία και από τους Εθνικούς αποκαλέστηκε Μέγας. Για τους Χριστιανούς και την Ιστορία είναι ο «Παραβάτης» και ο «Αποστάτης», ενώ του αποδίδονται τα επίθετα «Ειδωλιανός», «Αδωναίος», «Καυσίταυρος» και «Πισαίος».
