Nice story about it all to read about...the rain, the mud, the area not really all that fruitful in the past...and not wanting to waste a day. Well he didn't

Looks like it is a Trier issue RIC VI 5 (about 5.3 g) 11/2 solidi multiple
Licinius bust right, draped and cuirassed  LICINI-VS P F AVG

and a real cool  legend
