RIC VI, ANTIOCHIA [after 131], LICINIUS, UNLISTED ISSUE [IOVI CONSERVATORI AVGG]

OBVERSE	LICIN-NIVSPFAVG [LICINNIVS P F AVG]; head r., laur.
REVERSE	IOVICONSER-VATORIAVGG [IOVI CONSERVATORI AVGG]; Jupiter stg. l., cloak spread behind, r. holding Victory on globe, l. leaning on sceptre; eagle at feet to l. SMA[reversed sigma] in exergue.
NOT IN RIC	UNLISTED ISSUE. Not attested in RIC but cf. ANTIOCHIA 158 and RIC VII ANTIOCH 3A (in "Addenda and Corrigenda", p. 720; note Jupiter with chlamys hanging from l. shoulder). The iconography of reverse (Jupiter with cloak spread behind) suggests that this issue was minted under Maximinus (see: Bruun, P., "The Iupiter Conservator of the Emperor Maximinus", [in:] Florilegium Numismaticum. Studia honorem U. Westermark edita, Stockholm 1992). Coin should be probably listed after ANTIOCHIA 131 or later.
