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. -Robert A. DeRose, Jr. |

My late uncle dug it up in his garden at Grendon Underwood in Buckinghamshire. Not an area known for Roman remains. |
