[QUOTE="dougsmit, post: 4940578, member: 19463"]For about a century centering on this coin it is not at all unusual to see A, M, N, V with lines that don't come together when we might expect them to using modern ideas of alphabet. These are not errors. The original Licinius is one that included an extra LIC from his full name Valerius Licinianus Licinius. There are even a few that have Licinianus spelled out.
