Licinius I - Soli Invicto

Here's a Licinius I got several months ago but never posted here or elsewhere. It's from the scarcer Ostia mint:

Licinius I follis

Obv: IMP LICINIVS PF AVG (I believe there's doubling or something around the IN)
Rev: SOLI INVICTO COMITI, Sol standing facing left, chalmys (sp?) over shoulder, MOSTQ in ex, Ostia


Oh yeah, and I got it for a bargain: $8.90 shipped

Very nice Lic I VK. Especially like the reverse.

 

That's an excellent example of Licinius I, and the Ostia mint is indeed scarce. Great find.

Mine is common, but in pretty good shape, and lots of interesting control marks...

Licinius/Genius
Thessilonika mint

 

Awesome lookin' coin, Jango => sadly, I do not yet have a Licinius (well done)

 

Great Coin!

Ostia was the Port of Rome... Slowly abandoned over the end of the empire... sad, as it shows the decline of the once great Empire

 

You can't even buy a sammich for that any more. And you got an 1800 year old piece of art work and history...I call that a bargain my friend!
