Sear is not the best book for identifying late Roman bronzes. You really want RIC for a physical book, but when I still collected these types I found that the best resources are WildWinds (Link points to the Julian II page) and RomanCoin.info. RomanCoin.info has a spreadsheet that is linked(click on the "VOT X" image in the reverses table) that you can open in Excel and filter by reverse type and by ruler(Julian II) to narrow down the possibilities. Then you need to try and figure out what the text on the coin is, the bottom of the reverse especially as this is the mintmark and is crucial for fully identifying it. Feel free to post back here of course if you have questions but you'll do yourself a favor if you can figure it out on your own.

Julian struck two types in his coin reform of 362.  A large (AE1) SECVRITAS REIPVB and this smaller (AE3) VOT X MVLT XX.  It was struck at all of his mints so you will have to work a bit to get a better view of the mint mark
