Commentary
Rubans de type 3 aux extrémités bouletées. Ptéryges fines. Les lettres T|F pourraient être les intiales de “Temporum Felicitas” (les Temps heureux). C’est l’une des dernières utilisations tardives du type GENIO POP ROM qui disparaît ensuite définitivement du monnayage.
Type 3 ribbons with pelleted ends. Fine pteryga. The letters T|F could be the initials of “Temporum Felicitas” (Happy Times). It is one of the last late uses of the GENIO POP ROM type which then definitively disappears from coinage

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..
