Commentary
Poids léger. Plutôt que la mappa, Licinius tient le foudre qui l’assimile à Jupiter et complète la lecture du revers. Césure de légende de revers inhabituelle.
Lightweight. Rather than the mappa, Licinius holds the thunderbolt, which equates him with Jupiter and completes the reading on the reverse. Unusual reverse legend caesura

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..
