The Sword side has an image of Julius Caesar, while the Lance side has an axe and the word Ivlivs. It is made from Imperial Gold. It is possible that the inscription is supposed to say "Julius" since in Latin "J" is generally pronounced as "I". Or it could be a mention to Aeneas' son (Roman hero), Lulus, which is what Julius Ceaser's name was derived from. Jason tends to hold the coin in his hand whenever he feels like he is in danger (such as when he was in the house of Midas). He first learns that it could turn into a Lance when showing the other campers that he is a son of Zeus by calling down lightning. It was later destroyed by Enceladus when he fought Jason at Mount Diablo. It was later replaced with a new weapon given to Jason by Juno. When Ivlivs tuns into a Javelin it is 7 feet long, made entirely of metal, with an extremely sharp tip. When it is a Gladius it is 2 feet long, double-edged and probably one-handed with a ridged grip. When it is a coin it is thick and slightly uneven, and about the size of a half-dollar. Trivia <ul><li>Ivlivs would actually be called "Julius" because in Roman times a "U" was represented by a "V", and there was no J in Latin so the letter I replaced it. </li><li>The coin's two sides have Julius Caesar on one and an axe on the other, which refers to Caesar's victorious conquest over the barbarian tribes of Gaul (France) which were represented by an axe. </li><li>It somewhat resembles a Golden Drachma</a> but it is an aureus. </li><li>It was destroyed at the end of The Lost Hero. When Jason tried to pierce the back bone of Enceladus, it was smashed by his foe's javelin and it exploded in a blast of white hot fire. The blast released so much power it fused the sand and heat together forming a glass pit. </li></ul> <h2 data-rte-empty-lines-before="1">See also <ul><li>Riptide</a> </li><li>Nico's Sword</a> </li><li>Katoptris</a> </li></ul>
