<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dougsmit, post: 2285837, member: 19463&quot;]The field mark here indicates the revaluation by Licinius at mints he controlled.&nbsp; The AE3 coins that previously had been rated at 25 denarii of account were halved to 12 and 1/2.&nbsp; Coins were marked XIIs with the final squiggle being the semis or one half symbol then current.&nbsp; The revaluation was not accepted at mints controlled by Constantine and did not last long.&nbsp; They are common/popular on Licinius II since that move took place when he was on the scene and being shown in his little soldier suit.&nbsp; They come from several Eastern mints as shown by our postings here.&nbsp; Mine are Nicomedia for Licinius II and Cyzicus for Licinius I.&nbsp; They rarely come in Constantine I struck at Licinian mints but I don&#039;t have one to show.</p><p>[ATTACH=full]457546[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]457547[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
