Commentary
Poids léger. Les vœux “vota” n’ont plus aucune réalité. Ils sont souhaités dès l’accession de l’empereur alors que précédemment, il fallait attendre quatre ans révolus (quinquennalia), neuf ans révolus (decennalia) ou dix-neuf ans révolus (vicennalia) pour les réaliser.
Lightweight. Vota wishes no longer have any reality. They are requested upon the accession of the emperor, whereas previously, it was necessary to wait until four years have passed (quinquennalia), nine years have passed (decennalia) or nineteen years have passed (vicennalia) to fulfill them.

Historical background
JOVIAN
(06/27/363-02/17/364)
Jovian was born in 331 in Singidunum in Moesia. Count of the domestici (Ammianus Marcellinus, History, XXV, 5/4), he succeeded Julian II the Philosopher on June 27, 363. A Christian, he rallied to the Nicene creed and abolished Julian's anti-Christian edicts. Jovian signed peace with the Sassanid king, Sapor II (309-379). He had to abandon Nisibis, Singara and part of Armenia. Jovian retreated with the remains of the army and arrived in Antioch in October 363. He assumed his first consulate on January 1, 364 in the company of his son Flavius Varronianus, a child. He died of asphyxiation by a brazier on February 17, 364 in Dadastana, a small town located between Nicaea and Ancyra. On the following February 26, Valentinian was proclaimed Augustus..
