Numismatics still provides an important source of information, as it confirms the existence of at least one of them. Julian was in fact a governor of Northern Italy who, upon the death of Emperor Carus and then Numerian, started a revolt in Pannonia. He struck coins in Siscia celebrating the Pannonian provinces, as demonstrated by this specimen. However, his reign was short-lived because Carinus, Numerian's brother, soon left Britain to confront the usurper, defeating and killing him in 285 in an unknown location.
