Commentary
Ce type avec cette officine manquait dans la majorité des ouvrages de référence. Les cinq exemplaires connus proviennent tous du trésor de Bikic-Do, découvert en 1952, publié en 1978 et qui sur 10.590 pièces, contenaient 84 de l’atelier d’Héraclée.

Historical background
LICINIUS I
(11/11/308-09/324)
Licinius I was proclaimed august directly following the conference of Carnuntum, on November 11, 308. In 313, after the rescript of Milan, he married Constantine's half-sister, Constantia. In 316 a first war took place between Licinius and Constantine. It ends with the death of Valens and the signing of a peace between the two augusts. On April 1, 317, three Caesars were created: Crispus, Constantine II and Licinius II. A second war broke out between Constantine and Licinius in 321. It ended with the decisive defeat of Chrysopolis in 324 and the deposition of Licinius, exiled to Thessalonica before being executed the following year..
