Commentary


Rubans de type 3. Les noms de l’empereur sont écrits avec deux N. C’est la première fois que nous présentons ce type de revers pour l’emprereur qui semble plus rare que ne le laissent supposer les ouvrages généraux.
Type 3 ribbons. The emperor's names are written with two Ns. This is the first time that we present this type of reverse for the emperor, which seems rarer than general works suggest.

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..
