| Aanvullende informatie |
This solidus was struck at Thessalonica in 324 AD, the year Constantine defeated Licinius at the Battle of Chrysopolis and became sole ruler of the Roman Empire. Thessalonica had served as Licinius's primary western mint, and its rapid conversion to Constantine's coinage following the victory was a deliberate administrative act — new dies, new legends, same workshop staff.
RIC VII 131 is among the earlier issues from this re-dedicated mint, struck before the full standardization of Constantinian gold coinage across the eastern workshops was achieved.
