NOT IN RIC

[CORRECTION]. Quadriga on rev. is described as galloping right. Note, however, that RIC cites unique specimen from the British Museum which has quadriga galloping left. It means that rev. of ANTIOCHIA 143 (attested for Licinius) is identical with rev. of ANTIOCHIA 142 (attested for Maximinus II) and that both belong to the same issue. Therefore, this coin should be listed before ANTIOCHIA 142.
