Licinius II VIRTVS EXERCIT

[Robert_Brenchley]

The exe on this is delta SIS star,with S in left field and F above H/L ligate in right.As far as I can see,  RIC only lists this issue with the obverse inscription LICINIVS IVN NOB CAES with an I1 bust; laureate and draped,and holding a mappa in the L hand. This one is laureate and cuirassed, with nothing that I can see in the L hand. Am I missing something?

there is a mappa in the left hand, it is just hard to make out.

[Robert_Brenchley]

There could be, I wasn't sure. But it's definitely cuirassed! I'm not sure whether that's intended as an eagle or an aegis on the breast.

That's the closest I can get, except that an I1 bust is laureate and draped. This is laureate (the hair is clearly visible in the hand) and cuirassed.
