| Beschrijving keerzijde | The Genius of the Army personified stands facing left in the central field, nude but for a chlamys draped over the left shoulder, and wearing a modius on his head. In his right hand he pours a libation from a patera, while his left hand holds a cornucopiae. A crescent appears in the upper left field, an officina letter is placed in the right field, and the mint mark is inscribed in the exergue. The legend GENIO EX-ERCITVS is disposed across the field in two parts, divided by the figure of the Genius. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Issued at Antioch during the uneasy period following the collapse of the Tetrarchy, this nummus belongs to a moment when Licinius was still consolidating power in the East after his appointment by Galerius in 308. The GENIO EXERCITVS reverse type was a deliberate appeal to military loyalty — Licinius had no dynastic claim and no battlefield reputation to trade on. His authority depended entirely on the army's goodwill.
Antioch's mint was among the most prolific in the eastern empire and struck for multiple claimants in rapid succession during these years. RIC VI 147b places this piece in the mint's second officina.
