<p>[QUOTE="dougsmit, post: 8063794, member: 19463"]I think mine wins the race to terrible. It shows king Rhadamsades who shared the throne with his brother above but mine is 9 years earlier (AIX = 611 = 314 / 315 A.D.). The problem is that Constantine was sharing the empire with Licinius so we have to look at this portrait and decide which Roman it is. I say Licinius since it shows a radiate portrait which is more common from some of Licinius' mints. In other words, it is a guess. Websites more wise than adventuresome refer to the guy on the reverse as 'Emperor' without committing to which one. </p><p><a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20080908002323/http://en.museum-of-money.org/view/rhadamsades_309_310_318_319_a_d/" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://web.archive.org/web/20080908002323/http://en.museum-of-money.org/view/rhadamsades_309_310_318_319_a_d/" rel="nofollow">https://web.archive.org/web/20080908002323/http://en.museum-of-money.org/view/rhadamsades_309_310_318_319_a_d/</a></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1397889[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
