Double Maiorina of the Roman Emperor Julian II. Coin struck in Arles around 362-363 AD.
The Maiorina was introduced during a monetary reform under Constantius II, around 348 AD, to stabilize the economy and standardize the monetary system. The name Maiorina comes from the Latin “maior”, meaning “greater,” and it was likely named to indicate that it was larger or of higher value compared to other coins in circulation at the time, such as smaller bronze coins.
