Description: NGC FINE Roman Bronze AE3 of Procopius - Rival of Valens AD365 - 366 Procopius, born around 325/326 AD, was a Roman usurper against Valens. A native of Cilicia with Greek heritage, he was a maternal cousin to Emperor Julian. Procopius served under Constantius II, gaining trust and connections. He participated in campaigns, including with Julian against the Sassanids. Rumors of Julian naming him as a successor circulated, but fearing Jovian's wrath, Procopius went into hiding. After Jovian's death, Procopius declared himself Emperor in 365, seizing Constantinople and gaining support by portraying himself as an educated philosopher. Valens initially struggled but ultimately defeated Procopius in battles at Thyatira and Nacolia. Procopius fled, was betrayed, and executed on May 27, 366.Grade ( F ) Fine - Certified Authentic , Graded and Encapsulated by NGC You Will Receive the Same Type of Coin and Condition Shown , Certificate Number Will Vary As Stock Photos Are Used Free USPS Ground Advantage with Tracking and Insurance!
