RIC VII, ANTIOCH 4, LICINIUS I, [CORRECTION]

OBVERSE	LICIN-IVSPFAVG [LICINIVS P F AVG]; head r., laur.
REVERSE	VOTISV-MVLTISX [VOTIS V MVLTIS X]; Victory stg. r., holding shield inscribed VI/CTO/RIA/AVG on cippus. Q over II in left field. SMAΣ in exergue.
NOT IN RIC	[CORRECTION]. RIC cites specimen from Trau Collection ("Hess 1935, 3788") but coin no. 3788 on plate 44 has no crescent and star in exergue. Note that variety of ANTIOCH 4 with crescent and star in exergue apparently does not exist but this pattern is correct for ANTIOCH 5 and ANTIOCH 6. Listed in Depeyrot (p. 144, no. 31/1) with this correction.
