RIC VII, ARLES [after 160], LICINIUS II, UNLISTED REVERSE TYPE

OBVERSE	VALLICINIVSNOBCAES [VAL LICINIVS NOB CAES]; bust r., laur., dr., cuir.
REVERSE	IOVICONSE-R-VATORI [IOVI CONSERVATORI]; Jupiter stg. r., head l., r. holding thunderbolt at hip level, l. leaning on sceptre, chlamys spread. T[star over crescent]A in exergue.
NOT IN RIC	UNLISTED REVERSE TYPE. RIC lists for Licinius' II coins from this issue two types of reverse: both with Jupiter stg. left, not right. The description in RIC is not very precise, but probably in both cases Jupiter is holding thunderbolt up, not at hip level (see example of ARLES 160). Not listed in Ferrando. Note, however, that this coin may be regarded as an ancient imitation. Otherwise, should be listed after ARLES 160.
