On Jason's coin, it says IVLIVS. Does it mean anything? If so, what does it mean?

Yeah, it does.

당신 know how on one side of the coin, there is a picture of Julius Ceaser's head? Well, Julius in latin is IVLIVS.
In Roman times, U represented a V and there was no J in Latin so it was replaced 의해 an I.
And then since it's under the axe, it stands to reason the Ivlivs means Julius. The axe represents Ceaser's victorius conquest over the barbarian tribes of of Gaul.

My guess is that the whole coin is sort of a tribute to Julius Ceaser, though why, I don't know.

I could be wrong about all of this though, link is where I got the info.

Yes:-) I heard somewhere that IVLIVS is how they wrote Julius is ancient (Roman?) times as they had no J 또는 U. I heard this in a Percy Jackson podcast... Hope it helps!
