<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Ardatirion, post: 1632776, member: 9204&quot;]This is one of the few regular coins I still own. When I acquired it several years ago, I thought there was a bit of drapery on the shoulder. Maybe there isn&#039;t. In any case, the engraver of the obverse die created a delicate portrait Licinius, reminiscent of those of his Imperial predecessors. The slightly off-set portrait adds lends a confident haughtiness to the ruler.</p><p>&nbsp; </p><p style="text-align: center"><img src="http://www.forumancientcoins.com/gallery/albums/userpics/18271/Licinius%20I%20AE3%2C%20Siscia%2C%20319-320%20AD.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p> <p style="text-align: center"><b><br /></b></p> <p style="text-align: center"><b>ROME.
