The reverse of this bronze coin of Licinius is reminiscent of a similar one struck in Rome by Emperor Constantine The Great. It was thought then that it commemorated the battle of the Milvian Bridge that brought crucial victory to the new era of Rome. I'm wondering if it has any commemorative significance for Licinius as well. What could it be ?
I'm in the school of thought that coins were not minted in specific commemoration of the battle at Milvain bridge.
Nice OP coin. I always see coins presented here that entice me to find one for my collection. This is one of them.
This type was struck for Constantine I, Licinius I and Maximinus II. It was struck after the defeat of Maxentius in the mints that Constantine had just taken control of-- Rome and Ostia; then struck at Arles after the transfer of the Ostia mint. It commemorates the defeat of Maxentius.
