Commentary
Poids extrêmement léger. Rubans de type 3. Le diamètre de ce follis fait plutôt penser aux émissions antérieures à 313, mais le poids très léger ne plaide pas en faveur de cette hypothèse.
Extremely light weight. Type 3 ribbons. The diameter of this follis is more reminiscent of issues prior to 313, but the very light weight does not support this hypothesis.

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..
