Hi everyone,
I’d appreciate help confirming (or correcting) my attribution for this late Roman bronze coin. I want to make sure I’m not misreading the legends or reverse type.
Measurements: 24.25 mm, 2.61 g, ~0.94 mm thick
My current attribution:
Roman Empire, Licinius I (AD 308–324)
AE follis / reduced follis
Obverse: Bust right. I can clearly make out “…LICIN…” in the legend. (Possibly IMP LICINIVS P F AVG, but not fully readable.)
Reverse: I believe the legend reads IOVI CONSERVATORI. The reverse appears to show Jupiter standing left, holding Victory on globe and a scepter, with an eagle near his feet (typical Jupiter Conservator type).
Estimated date: possible c. AD 313–320, but I’m not confident.
The mintmark is not clearly visible in my photos.
I found several very similar Licinius I coins listed on Wildwinds here, which is why I’m leaning toward Licinius I / IOVI CONSERVATORI:

Could anyone confirm the ruler, reverse type, and help narrow the date/mint/RIC group? If you see any mistakes in what I’m reading, please point them out.
Thanks in advance!
