Nummus - Licinius I IOVI CONSERVATORI AVGG, Alexandria

Licinius I struck this issue from the Alexandria mint during the uneasy détente following the 313 AD Edict of Milan, when he and Constantine nominally shared imperial authority while both manoeuvred for sole control. The Jupiter Conservator reverse was Licinius's deliberate ideological counter to Constantine's increasingly Christian imagery — a pagan traditionalist platform that would harden into open conflict by 320. RIC VII #23 places this piece in the Alexandria mint's output for that precise window before the final rupture.
