<p>[QUOTE=&quot;DonnaML, post: 4334696, member: 110350&quot;]Sitting here at home, I&#039;ve been browsing some old threads from before I joined this forum in January, looking to see if there are any to which I can contribute.&nbsp; So I thought I&#039;d revive this old thread about Licinius coins to post my example, which is similar to a number of others posted here.</p><p><br /></p><p>Licinius I, silvered AE Follis, Siscia Mint (4th Officina) 315-316 AD. Obv. Laureate head right, IMP LIC LICINIVS P F AVG / Rev. Naked Jupiter standing and facing left, chlamys across left shoulder, holding Victory on globe in right hand and leaning on scepter held in left hand; eagle with wreath in beak at his feet left, IOVI CON-SERVATORI. Delta in right field, • SIS • in exergue. RIC VII SISCIA 17 (p. 424), Sear RCV IV 15212, Cohen 66. 21 mm., 3.36 g. </p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1099064[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>I really love the joyous-looking Victory on this and many of the other coins shown in this thread.</p><p><br /></p><p>One question that some might consider indelicate. But we are all adults here, I think.&nbsp; I can&#039;t help noticing how anatomically correct Jupiter is on my coin and some of the others.&nbsp; Is that standard for portrayals of Jupiter on Roman coins?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
