Commentary
Poids très léger. Avec l’intégralité de son argenture superficielle ce qui est exceptionnel pour ce genre de follis. Sur cet exemplaire, le portrait de Licinius Ier ressemble à celui de Constantin Ier. Rubans de type 3. Cuirasse et épaulière lisses. Ptéryges fines. Cassure de coin perceptible au revers (cheveux dans le champ). Les lettres T|F dans le champ du revers pourraient se traduire par “Temporum Felicitas”.
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..
