Licinius unlisted variant RIC#155

We might add that these seem to abbreviate slogans and can be found reversed in some cases (eg FT and TF = Felicitas Temporum). Failmezger touched on these on page 51 of his book but 'why' is not covered.

Cool coin OP. I guess you should be searching for a die match, if any exist.

 

@ancient coin hunter ..i've been looking but to no avail as of yet!

@Mikey Zee..Lovely coin..your captive looks like one of snow whites maybe grumpy!

With yours and dlhill's someone should start a thread on the captives misdemeanours.
