Commentary
Poids très léger. Rubans de type 2 aux extrémités bouletées. Couronne inhabituelle. Ce type semble plus rare que ne le laissent supposer les ouvrages généraux. C’est la première fois que nous présentons un exemplaire de ce type avec la tête radiée.
Very light weight. Type 2 ribbons with pelleted ends. Unusual crown. This type seems rarer than general works suggest. This is the first time that we present an example of this type with the radiated head

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..
