Description

Struck at Nicomedia in AD 321–324 for Licinius I. The obverse shows the emperor facing right in a radiate crown, drapery and cuirass, with the portrait and surrounding titles visible on a textured brown surface.

IOVI CONSERVATORI means “to Jupiter the Preserver.” Jupiter stands left holding Victory on a globe and an eagle-tipped sceptre, accompanied by an eagle with a wreath and a captive. The principal figures remain distinct; a small edge split is visible near the reverse’s lower left.
