<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Valentinian, post: 8077601, member: 44316&quot;]Diocletian&#039;s coin reform of c. 294 initiated the very common GENIO POPVLI ROMANI type at fourteen mints. The type was replaced at central mints by the SACRA MONETA type c. 300 and discontinued at the other mints in 307 before Constantine became Augustus. After Maxentius was defeated in 312 Constantine revived the type on a smaller flan for a short while at Ticinum and Rome. The last appearance of the GENIO POPVLI ROMANI legend was for Licinius and Constantine at Alexandria when Licinius took over the mint upon the death of Maximinus II in 313. The last design was modified by having Genius hold the head of Serapis. </p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1402138[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Licinius</p><p>22-20 mm. 5.40 grams.
