RIC 5.

There is little information on Marcus Aurelius Sabinus Julianus, known as Julian of Pannonia. It has been speculated that more than one usurper bore this name, but at least one is confirmed by coins. According to the most widely accepted version, upon the death of Emperor Numerian in 284, who was involved in defending the empire's eastern frontier, Julian revolted in Pannonia, having served as governor (corrector) in northern Italy. Coins minted in his name and bearing the mint-mark of Siscia refer to the Pannonian provinces, and are compatible with this version.
