Commentary
Poids léger. Ce type ne peut pas avoir été frappé en 313-315 comme le prétend P. M. Bruun dans le RIC VII, mais doit appartenir aux émissions difficilement classées de 313 avec une préférence pour une taille au 1/84 L. et un grènetis de 20/22 mm qui correspond mieux à cette période.
Light weight. This type cannot have been struck in 313-315 as PM Bruun claims in RIC VII, but must belong to the difficult to classify issues of 313 with a preference for a size of 1/84 L. and a graining of 20/22 mm which corresponds better to this 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..
