Title: Licinius I campgate from Heraclea
Post by: Victor on September 30, 2020, 09:13:23 PM

This not in RIC coin just sold on eBay. The mintmark (SMHT) is not listed in RIC for the campgate series.

Lech's site has it listed, including this example (second pic below) from a previous sale.

it seems like this is probably the first campgate from Heraclea, but this coin does not fit neatly into the arrangement in RIC.

IMP LICINIVS AVG; laur., dr., globe, scepter in l. hand, mappa in r.hand.

Interesting coin!That one completely slipped below my radar. I guess I need to look more careful next time :)
