Bing Pillar of the Community United States 4253 Posts	Posted 01/24/2013 11:56 pm I'm thinking it looks like Siscia. The bust type doesn't seem right for Aquileia. I just had a quick look on Helvetica's and I believe it to be Siscia, but the legends also can fit from Aquileia. Report this Post to the Staff
chrsmat71 Pillar of the Community United States 4971 Posts	Posted 01/25/2013 12:52 am looked at helvitica, it looks like all siscia mint marks for licinius have something after the "sis" like a star or gamma, and this coin look clear after that. but doesn't look like "aqs" really, and appears to have another in the first spot. I'm stumped on this one. Report this Post to the Staff
bobbyhelmet Pillar of the Community United Kingdom 2838 Posts	Posted 01/25/2013 03:36 am I agree with Gil - I just think the 'A' in 'AQS' is particularly poorly formed so it doesn't look right. I think the Siscia busts all have helmets for Licinius. Report this Post to the Staff
echizento Moderator United States 23731 Posts	Posted 01/25/2013 05:59 am I'm with Bing on this one. I think it's BIS Report this Post to the Staff
Biancasdad Pillar of the Community United States 1045 Posts	Posted 01/25/2013 08:51 am I think Gil is spot on. Legend break, Laureate bust, field marks makes RIC 50 Aquileia the only possibility according to Dane's pages. Nice coin TJ! Report this Post to the Staff
