the Usurper - Roman Coins, or coinage
Julian of Pannonia was a usurper. Usurper is a term used to
describe an illegal claimant to the throne without securing
"the consent of the governed." Usurpers were a common
feature of the late Roman Empire, especially from the crisis
of the third century onwards. Every new emperor, either
legal or illegal, marked the beginning of his rule by
minting new coins, both for the prestige of declaring
oneself as Augustus and to pay the loyal soldiers their
share. Roman coins, or coinage, is often the only evidence
of a determined usurpation such as that of Julian of
Pannonia.
