« on: February 05, 2018, 08:52:47 AM »

This coin is not in RIC. There is already an example here- http://www.notinric.lechstepniewski.info/7lyo-71.html

note that it looks like a mappa and sceptre being held by Licinius.

IMP LICI-NIVS AVG; bust left, laureate, draped and cuirassed; scepter over left shoulder, mappa in right hand.
VICTORIAE LAET PRINC PERP; two Victories stg., facing one another, together holding wreath inscribed VOT PR on altar. 
In ex. two captives
