The emperor's strong, idealised profile features a prominent chin and commanding expression characteristic of Constantinian portraiture. The encircling Latin legend reads CONSTANTINVS P F AVG, distributed evenly around the field. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Licinius held the consulate in 317 AD jointly with his young son Licinius II, a political arrangement designed to shore up dynastic legitimacy against the growing pressure from Constantine. The CONSVL P P PROCONSVL titulature on this issue reflects that moment of calculated self-promotion — Licinius was projecting stability from his eastern base at a time when the two emperors were barely a year removed from open war with each other.
Antioch was the natural mint for such a statement. The city was Licinius's most important western-facing production center, and aurei struck there in this narrow window are considerably scarcer than contemporary issues from Nicomedia.
