[QUOTE="Clavdivs, post: 3651317, member: 93702"]I just wanted to share my limited Licinius collection. I got two out of uncleaned lots, a few for $3 ~ $10 on eBay and paid more for a few from dealers. Many find the Jupiter reverse boring.. I do not - I think it's a very detailed and meaningful reverse.. but yes I guess it can get a bit repetitive! I have since added a couple with some variety. What fascinates me the most are the portraits. Yes he had a long reign of 18 years - so you expect some change but the difference is striking!.. the change in portrait style and artwork is very interesting. I know this is the same with most rulers of this era. [B]Could we pick the real Licinius out of a Police Line Up?[/B] (click image for a closer look....)
