<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Orange Julius, post: 4349967, member: 77226&quot;]Here&#039;s a fun little coin that I got recently. This coin was minted in the same issue of very rare coins of Valerius Valens, somewhere between him being made junior emperor in the east to Licinius in December 316 and being executed after the first civil war with Constantine on March 1st 317 (or not long after). Coins of Constantine from Licinius&#039; mints during this time are less common but this one is special for its relationship to Valerius Valens.</p><p>[ATTACH=full]1101111[/ATTACH] </p><p>Constantine I, Alexandria, 316-317 AD.</p><p>IMP C FL VAL CONSTANTINVS PF AVG, laureate head right</p><p>IOVI CONSER-VATORI AVGG, Jupiter standing left, chlamys</p><p>across left shoulder, holding Victory on globe and sceptre,</p><p>eagle with wreath left, K in left field, wreath over X</p><p>over B in right field.</p><p>ALE in ex.</p><p>RIC VII Alexandria 17, rated R2[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
