Sol Invictus

The title is somewhat peculiar. It blurs before my eyes into incomprehensibility but seems to be “Sol Invictus”, whatever that means. Is that Latin?

Nummus of Constantine I, Trier mint, 307–318

Struck copper alloy, 22.4 mm, 3.31 g. The legend reads SOL INVIC/TO COMITI — to the unconquered Sun, the companion.

— No, I’m not taking a piss. I do program clouds, for real. Have you heard of such a thing? — And why would you do that? — To make them rain.
