Commentary
Poids léger. Rubans de type 3 aux extrémités bouletées. Ptéryges fines sous le paludamentum. Revers particulièrement bien venu à la frappe, mais tréflé sur la légende.
Lightweight. Type 3 ribbons with rounded ends. Thin pteryges under the paludamentum. Reverse particularly well struck, but trefoiled on the legend.

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..
