Hi. This bronze coin represents Emperor Licinius I. It was struck in Antioch. Very common indeed.. The fact is that the reverse on the right side has a wreath over the inscription D ( Delta ) over III. Not even one of all Licinius listings has this inscription except only one which has the letter A instead of Delta. It could be a minor remark , but in Numismatics I think every difference might count a lot of meanings. I appreciate your opinion on this issue. Thanks..
I already checked RIC VII Antioch 8 before posting this thread, and it showed Wreath over A . Anyway my coin doesn't show any Epsilon under wreath. Hope I'm right BG.
Nice coin Charles. I like it when the field marks on these are sharp. I've got the epsilon version, but the wreath is worn down...
As I see it, JA's coin is EI or the Greek numeral for 15. Delta is four: alpha one. My poor example below is gamma or three. Antioch at that time used a system of 15 workshops and that numeral tell which one made that coin. I have not seen 15 before but you should be able to find the whole set if you look for 50 years. The series was shared by co-emperor Constantine I who has all 15 as well but my only example is E=5.
Wow => that's a cool new addition, 7Charles ... Oh, I happen to have an example as well ...
