Bronze follis of the Roman emperor Licinius I (308- 324). Reverse
shows Jupiter standing with an eagle at his feet. Licinius was co-
ruler with Constantine the Great for a while, but they eventually had
a civil war; Constantine emerged as sole ruler of the Empire. Not
particularly rare (my old copy of Sear lists it as 20 pounds) but a
neat coin with plenty of history. Hope this helps.
