It is striking how dominantly Jupiter played a role in the coinage of Emperor Licinius. The coins show Jupiter holding a scepter and a victoriola (a small figure of Victory) while standing with an eagle at his feet, which often holds a wreath in its beak. This design symbolized that Jupiter was granting victory and protection to the emperor, a common theme in Roman imperial propaganda. The legend IOVI CONSERVATORI directly communicated this message. The addition of AVGG signifies that Jupiter protected both Licinius and his co-emperor Constantine. The Edict of Milan, issued by both emperors in 313 AD, officially granted tolerance to Christianity, but the public use of imagery like the Jupiter coins shows that traditional pagan Roman religion was still a powerful force. Licinius also used this iconography to commemorate his victories, such as the 313 AD victory over Maximinus Daia, further solidifying his image as a divinely favored ruler.

It has been suggested that the curieus numerical formula in the reverse field indicates a revaluation of the follis, from 25 to 12 ½ denarii (see carson ″Coins of the Roman Empire″, page 167). The remarkable  adoption of a radiate imperial portrait on these folles may be connected with Licinius′ devotion in the sun-god Sol Invictus at a time when the survival of paganism was being threatened by the religious policy of Licinius′ western colleague Constantine.

After the death of Constantine the Great he was assassinated near Caesarea, by order of the sons of Constantine the Great.

It was struck with variable fineness and typically weighed between 3.8 and 6.0 grams, with a diameter of approximately 23-24 mm. These coins were part of the late Roman monetary system.

This coin type often features less common images on the reverse. The rarity of many of the early pieces suggests that production was not very large and that this coin type should mainly be seen as propaganda pieces for representative purposes. The same applies to gold solidi of 1.5 or multiple weight. For this reason, such pieces can also be considered medallions. In the late 4th century, we see a significant increase in the production of the miliarensis. From that point on, the pieces were indeed intended for regular circulation rather than for representational purposes.

This specimen is far too small and to low of weight for a normal centenionalis. The coin′s style is similar to the Lugdunum centenionalis of this type. A contemporary imitation is therefore unlikely. Therefore, this appears to be a smaller denomination, a ½ centenionalis. As such, it is unpublished and extremely rare.

Just as Constantius II favored the Falling Horseman, Constans most frequently used the Galley steered by Victory. The emperor is shown standing in the galley holding either a small figure of Victory or a Phoenix on a globe. The scene probably honors Constans′ crossing to Britain in the winter of 342 to 343 to defeat the invading Picts, as described in a now-lost book of Ammianus Marcellus. Such visit would have necessitated a winter crossing of the English channel, a type of journey that was never welcomed in antiquity. This visit was first commemorated on a bronze medallion for Constans struck circa 343, with legend BONONIA OCEANEN, which shows Constans fully armoured on a galley. Galleys had often been used on coins to symbolize the travel of Emperor. Hadrianus struck a series of large bronzes, circa 125 to 128, showing galleys.

FEL TEMP  -  REPARATIO, BSIS in exergue

FEL TEMP REPARATIO
Leading modern numismatists agree that the extensive FEL TEMP REPARATIO series began in 348, when a monetary reform took place. It also coincides with Rome′s 1100th anniversary on 21 April 348, and its extensive celebration. The text therefore refers to the greatness of Rome and the desire to restore and continue it. This legend is probably the abbreviation of FELICIS TEMPORIS REPARATIO (singular) or FELICORUM TEMPORUM REPARATIO (plural), meaning ′re-establishment of the happy (prosperous) time(s).

On the Falling Horseman type, Virtus or a Roman soldier is shown spearing a barbarian horseman. Varieties show this barbarian in different poses but in all he is dying. Of all Roman coins showing a battle scene, this series is unusual in showing the moment of death and contends with a Republican denarius (of M. Sergius Sileus) showing a severed head as the most violent and gruesome Roman coin. The barbarians who died on these coins were from several different tribes and countries. Some can be identified with some degree of certainty by their attire, hair and beards.

The Phrygian cap (or erroneously referred to as liberty cap) is a soft conical cap with the apex bent over, associated in antiquity with several peoples in Eastern Europe and Anatolia, including the Persians, the Medes and the Scythians, as well as in the Balkans, Dacia, Thrace and in Phrygia, where the name originated.

The tale of the phoenix is very old and was widely known throughout antiquity, with many variations. The tale says that the phoenix is a purple or red bird that lives in Arabia. There is only one living phoenix in the world at any time. When it is old, it builds a pyre of wood and spices and climbs on to it. There it faces the sun and the fire ignites; it fans the fire with its wings until it is completely consumed. Some say it is the sun that ignites the fire; others say that the phoenix starts it by striking its beak against a stone, or that stones gathered with spices in the pyre rub together to create a spark. A new phoenix rises from the ash of the old.

The tale of the phoenix is very old and was widely known throughout antiquity, with many variations. The tale says that the phoenix is a purple or red bird that lives in Arabia. There is only one living phoenix in the world at any time. When it is old, it builds a pyre of wood and spices and climbs on to it. There it faces the sun and the fire ignites; it fans the fire with its wings until it is completely consumed. Some say it is the sun that ignites the fire; others say that the phoenix starts it by striking its beak against a stone, or that stones gathered with spices in the pyre rub together to create a spark. A new phoenix rises from the ash of the old.

During the reign of Constantius II and Constans a series of coins were minted with the legend FEL TEMP REPARATIO. This legend is probably the abbreviation of FELICIS TEMPORIS REPARATIO (singular) or FELICORUM TEMPORUM REPARATIO (plural), meaning ′re-establishment of the happy time(s)′. These coins were introduced as part of the coinage reform of 348 AD. On the Falling Horseman type, Virtus or a Roman soldier is shown spearing a barbarian horseman. Varieties show this barbarian in different poses but in all he is dying. Of all Roman coins showing a battle scene, this series is unusual in showing the moment of death and contends with a Republican denarius (of M.

During the reign of Constantius II and Constans a series of coins were minted with the legend FEL TEMP REPARATIO. This legend is probably the abbreviation of FELICIS TEMPORIS REPARATIO (singular) or FELICORUM TEMPORUM REPARATIO (plural), meaning ′re-establishment of the happy time(s)′. These coins were introduced as part of the coinage reform of 348 AD. On the Falling Horseman type, Virtus or a Roman soldier is shown spearing a barbarian horseman. Varieties show this barbarian in different poses but in all he is dying. Of all Roman coins showing a battle scene, this series is unusual in showing the moment of death and contends with a Republican denarius (of M. Sergius Sileus) showing a severed head as the most violent and gruesome Roman coin. The barbarians who died on your coins were from several different tribes and countries. Some can be identified with some degree of certainty by their attire, hair and beards.

Constantius II joins the lengthy list of emperors whose career was marked by a seemingly endless series of wars both domestic and foreign. He served as Caesar from 324 until his father′s death in 337 at which time he shared the title of Augustus with two other brothers, Constantine II and Constans. To make sure no more Johnny-come-latelies in his family would try their hand at being emperor too it is thought that he engineered a bloodbath that left nary a relative. Constantine II died in battle and Constans was murdered by the men of Magnentius, the first of several usurpers. This left Constantius finally as sole legitimate emperor and he moved quickly to suppress Magnentius, an endeavour he eventually accomplished. The strife didn′t end there, however, as he still had to deal with other revolts and wars on every corner of the empire. Caught in these never-ending battles he died while on his way to battle Julian II.

The shield inscription VOTIS XXX MVLTIS XXXX is the Latin abbreviation for ′Votis Tricennalibus Multis Quadragennalibus′ and stands for; vows (prayers) on the 30th anniversary (of the emperors rule), more for his (hoped for) 40th anniversary. The tricennalia were celebrations of the third decennalia, three decades of rule. No coin is known bearing the word tricennalia. Naturally, very few Emperors reigned long enough to enjoy such a festival.

Unpublished variety; the die cutter made a mistake and wrote PFRP instead of PERP. An conceivable error, because probably a mix-up of PERP AVG and PF AVG. Unpublished. Extremely rare.

Trier was originally a settlement of the Gallic tribe of the Treveri. When General Agrippa had a road built from Lugdunum (Lyon) to Colonia (Cologne) and a bridge built near Trier, the settlement grew rapidly. Soon a city of size developed here, which the Romans gave the name Augusta Treverorum. The city is incorrectly referred to by many as Treveri; the treveri is a people, Treverorum is the city of the treveri. Trier was a thriving city during Roman times. At the time of the Gallic Empire (260-274) it was even the capital where the emperor resided. As the capital of Gaul, it also enjoyed a great heyday in the 4th century, where Emperor Constantine the Great also frequently stayed. The city suffered worse when the imperial court was moved to Arles in 394; one year later, the mint was closed.

In origin, Apis was a sacred bull deity worshipped at Memphis in ancient Egyptian religion. The cult of Apis originated at least as early as the 1st dynasty (c. 2925–c. 2775 BC). Like other bull deities, Apis was probably at first a fertility god concerned with the propagation of grain and herds, but he became associated with Ptah, the paramount deity of the Memphite area, and also with Osiris (as User-Hapi) and Sokaris, gods of the dead and of the underworld. As Apis-Atum he was associated with the solar cult and was often represented with the sun-disk between his horns. It was probably in Memphis that the worship of Serapis (after the Greek form Osorapis, a combination of Osiris and Apis in the image of an eastern Greek god) arose under Ptolemy I Soter (305–282 BC). From Alexandria it spread to become one of the most widespread Eastern cults in the Roman Empire.
