     Procopius. 365-366 AD. Æ 18mm (3.14 gm). Heraclea mint.
     Pearl-diademed, draped and cuirassed bust left / Procopius
     standing facing, head right, holding labarum and shield;
     Chi-rho/SMHB. RIC IX 7.1. Good VF, dark green patina with some
     light earth. Rare. 716320.

     Procopius, a distant kinsman of the Emperor Julian II by
     marriage, led one of Julian's armies during the disastrous
     Persian expedition of 363. He later claimed to have been named as
     successor by Julian on his deathbed, but when Valens was made
     Emperor of the East by his brother Valentinian I, Procopius went
     into hiding. He emerged some months later in Constantinople
     (September 28, 365), where he was acclaimed as Emperor by the
     local garrison, who had become alienated by Valens' stinginess.
     After a few successes, Procopius met defeat and death in battle
     against loyalist forces on May 27, 366. He was the last Emperor
     to plausibly claim a connection to Constantine I the Great.
