<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Texturn, post: 3164997, member: 96939&quot;]Hello everyone. I have been reading the posts and just kind of lurking in the background for awhile. I have developed an interest in ancients and have purchased a few. I am trying to do all the research on my own, but I am stumped on this!</p><p><br /></p><p>I will give you what I know:</p><p><br /></p><p>Licinius I (306 – 324 AD) Follis (3.42G)</p><p><br /></p><p>Obverse: IMP C VAL LICIN LICINUS PF AVG</p><p><br /></p><p>Laureate Draped Bust Right.</p><p><br /></p><p>My interpretation of Obverse: IMP= Imperator, C= Ceasar, VAL=have not discovered, PF= Pius Felix, (usually together meant the emperor was &quot;dutiful to the state&quot; and &quot;happy in luck&quot;.), AVG= Augustus</p><p><br /></p><p>Reverse: IOVI CONSEAVNTORI</p><p>My interpretation of Reverse: To Jupiter the Protector</p><p><br /></p><p>Jupiter standing l., chlamys across l. shoulder, leaning on sceptre and holding Victory on globe in r. hand; eagle with wreath to l. on ground; B in right exergue</p><p><br /></p><p>SMK mintmark (Cyzicus)</p><p><br /></p><p>I have found quite a few of this style coin, however, I have not found a B in the exergue. I have found an epsilon symbol, a S, a Z, a H, and a few other symbols but not a B.</p><p><br /></p><p>I first thought this referred to the shift at the Mint, but this cannot be correct. So my question is: what does this B, and the other letters and symbols in the exergue, represent?</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]813348[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]813349[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>Sorry for the pics![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
