Commentary
Rubans de type 3 aux extrémités bouletées. Ptéryges fines sous le paludamentum. Césure de légende de revers inhabituelle. P. Ferrando a recensé un unique exemplaire dans sa collection. Cet exemplaire est illustré dans le mémoire d’A.-M. Schmitt-Cadet (avec une erreur de césure (INV-I-CTO au lieu de IN-VI-CTO). C’est seulement le deuxième exemplaire signalé. De la plus grande rareté.

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..
