<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dougsmit, post: 3212379, member: 19463&quot;]The lesson here is to get a list of the emperors names as seen on their coins and not just rely on the name by which we know them today.&nbsp; Included in the group are some &#039;foolers&#039; where the popular name does not appear on the coins.&nbsp; Knowing full names will make the &#039;where to start&#039; question easier. </p><p><br /></p><p>The other trick is to consider the reverse types and when they were popular.&nbsp; Licinius used relatively few types and would be a suspect for a coin using one of those but not so much for a reverse that looks more mid-century.&nbsp; This one has a fooler in the radiate crown.&nbsp; Licinius was one of the last to use a radiate crown on some coins so you can&#039;t rule him out because of the crown.&nbsp; Note below is a coin of C VAL LICIN LICINIVS using a type super common in the time of Licinius.&nbsp; Knowing his name Gaius Valerius Licinianus Licinius seals the deal but you would guess it might be his just from the reverse.</p><p>[ATTACH=full]834415[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
