Nummus - Licinius I Iovi Conservatori, Siscia

Struck in the immediate aftermath of the Edict of Milan, this Siscia issue dates to the year Licinius and Constantine jointly declared religious toleration across the empire. Licinius had just crushed Maximinus Daia at the Battle of Tzirallum in April 313, eliminating the last ruler still actively persecuting Christians — which makes the timing of Jupiter's prominent role on this coinage pointed. Licinius remained committed to traditional Roman religion while Constantine moved toward Christianity, a theological divergence that would harden into open civil war by 316.

RIC VI 233a is among the commoner Siscia varieties of this type, though workshop attribution via mintmark remains worthwhile on sharper examples.
