Un seul ruban visible. Sur cet exemplaire, l’aigle ne tient pas de couronne dans son bec. Au regard des autres émissions de l’atelier, ne vaudrait-il mieux pas intervertir les deux premières émissions de l’atelier d’Alexandrie ?.
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..
