|   | This very rare reverse was the first issue of Procopius, using Valens' weight standard and reverse legend. It was soon replaced by the much more common, larger REPARATIO FEL TEMP, which must have been a return in both weight and symbolism (head left) to the standard of Julian II, whose nominee Procopius claimed to be. |
