Commentary


Hybride. Semble complètement inédit et non répertorié. Manque à tous les ouvrages consultés. De la plus grande rareté. Ce bronze hybride est tout a fait exceptionnel puisque il associe un droit de Licinius Ier à un revers réservé aux césars. La cinquième officine est normalement dévolue à Constantin II, mais a aussi été utilisée par Licinius Ier ou Licinius II. L’erreur doit résider dans un mélange de coins, l’effigie de Licinius Ier ayant été confondue avec celle de son fils. Le résultat : pour notre plus grand plaisir, nous nous retrouvons en face de l’une des monnaies les plus rares de la période.
Hybrid. Appears to be completely unpublished and unlisted. Missing from all consulted works. Extremely rare. This hybrid bronze is quite exceptional since it combines a right of Licinius I with a reverse reserved for the Caesars. The fifth officina is normally assigned to Constantine II, but was also used by Licinius I or Licinius II. The error must lie in a mix-up of dies, the effigy of Licinius I having been confused with that of his son. The result: to our great delight, we find ourselves facing one of the rarest coins of the period

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..
