This Licinius weighs 4.07 g. It looks cool.. That coin from Antioch is one of seven others I just acquired them in exchange of my " lost " Sestertius.. Charles

 

Here's an Elagabalus coin struck in Antioch.

 

Weighing just 3.62 g., this coin of Antioch has star over Delta above , and Epsilon below. All this on the reverse which figures a big SC. I hope someone could assure me that it belongs to the rare Emperor Diadumenian.
