[QUOTE="bcuda, post: 5532669, member: 105389"]Dont know why but I have never had a Licinius coin in my collection. I had plenty of opportunities but never really felt like I needed to have one. I picked this one up for two reasons on the reverse, one is because of the Latin abbreviation VOT XX MVLT XXX, translated it means on the 20th anniversary of the Emperor's rule and more for His hoped for thirtieth anniversary of rule. The other reason is because of the TSA (mint of Thessalonica) is where He was imprisoned and later hanged. Licinius was a close childhood friend of Galerius, Licinius was also the sometimes colleague sometimes enemy of Constantine. Licinius was involved in 4 different wars against Contantine with the last one leaving Licinius imprisoned in Thessalonica. Licinius tried to regain power but His plans were exposed , He then attempted to flee to the Goths but was captured in Thessalonica and hanged by Constantine. [ATTACH=full]1240824[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]
