<p>[QUOTE=&quot;zumbly, post: 3100490, member: 57495&quot;]That&#039;s a really nice Licinius in the OP, and like Victor says, not at all common.&nbsp; I think the reverse legend being AVG rather than AVGG is interesting in the context of it being issued during the first civil war between Licinius and Constantine, where three cities (Heraclea, Thessalonica and Alexandria) dropped a G in support of Licinius.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>In the Nummus Bible online database, there are hundreds upon hundreds of examples of these utterly common Jupiter folles with AVGG and just three with AVG (all from Heraclea).&nbsp; I don&#039;t think I see any on sale at Vcoins amongst the couple of hundred other examples of this type.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>Mine, from Thessalonica, is not as nice as the OP. </p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]784633[/ATTACH]<b>LICINIUS I</b></p><p>AE Follis. 3.57g, 22.3mm.
