Radiate, draped, and cuirassed bust right / Jupiter standing left, holding Victory on globe in right hand and scepter with left; to left, eagle standing left, head right, holding wreath in its beak; to right, bound captive seated right, head left; X/IIΓ//SMNA. RIC VII 46. Fine, dark brown surfaces, porous. Very rare.In 324, civil war broke out between Constantine and Licinius. When they came to blows near Hadrianopolis, Licinius, whose army was numerically superior in both foot and cavalry, was defeated by Constantine and fell back to Byzantium. His position there was not secure, however, and he was soon cut off from his fleet. He retreated to Chalcedon, where he promoted his controller of ministries, Martinian, as his co-Augustus, and left him to prevent Constantine from crossing the strait. Martinian was unable to accomplish the task and was captured by Constantine's forces shortly thereafter. He was executed by orders of Constantine in 325, after having short respite under guard in Cappadocia.

Festival of Isis. Mid 4th century AD. Æ (13mm, 0.75 g, 6h). Alexandria mint. [DEO] SAR[A]PIDI, draped bust of Sarapis right, wearing modius / SANCTO NILO, river-god Nilus reclining left on hippopotamus, holding reed in right hand and cornucopia in left; ALE. Cf. Alföldi, Festival pl. IV, 36 (for type); Vagi 2960 (1/8 nummus). VF, dark green to black patina, some obverse roughness. Very rare.From the Douglas O. Rosenberg Collection, purchased from Holyland Numismatics.The Ptolemaic cult of Sarapis and Isis enjoyed great popularity throughout Hellenistic and Roman times, and indeed the Romans, like the Greeks and Persians before them, were fascinated by the culture and monuments of ancient Egypt. The Ptolemies and the Roman emperors were not content with just being the foreign rulers of Egypt, but wanted to be viewed as legitimate successors of the Pharaohs. To this end, the Romans portrayed themselves as Pharaohs to the native population and even promoted the import of certain aspects of Egyptian culture and religion to their own native lands. The Egyptian concept of the Pharaoh as a god was appealing to the Roman emperors (the aging Julius Caesar was especially taken with this concept during his romance with Cleopatra). The Isis festival was a major celebration in Rome in the 3rd and 4th centuries, heralding the arrival of the ship of Isis (navigium Isidis) from Alexandria on 5 March. Besides Isis and Horus, other members of the Egyptian pantheon appear--Sarapis, Anubis, Harpocrates, and Nilus. Such coins or tokens with imperial busts were first struck by Diocletian at Rome to mark the arrival of the ship, and the tradition continued through the 4th century; the latest imperial bust to appear is that of Valentinian II. Alföldi proposes that in the Middle Ages the festival associated with the Isis ship (also known as carrus navalis) became the car naval or carnival.
