An elaborate allegorical frontispiece. At the top left is a circular medallion depicting the profile of Emperor Julian with the inscription "Our Lord Flavius Claudius Julianus, Pious, Fortunate, Augustus". At the top right is a circular medallion showing a military standard and figures with the inscription "By this sign you shall be victorious" and initials representing the mint mark.

In the center, a personification of Rome or Victory sits enthroned upon a pedestal, wearing a plumed helmet and holding a small winged Victory figure in her right hand and a spear in her left. She is surrounded by military trophies, including shields, spears, and a mace.

The pedestal serves as the title block. It is flanked by several figures: on the left, a winged genius holds a tall staff draped with a robe; on the right, a winged Mercury-like figure holds a caduceus. Putti are seen hovering and interacting with the scene. At the bottom, the publication details are inscribed on a stone base.
