| Beschrijving voorzijde | Laureate and bearded bust of Licinius I facing right, rendered in high relief with finely detailed hair secured by a laurel wreath. The emperor is depicted with a strong, naturalistic portrait characteristic of the Tetrarchic and early Constantinian artistic tradition. The obverse legend LICINIVS AVGVSTVS runs around the periphery, divided on either side of the effigy. The portrait conveys imperial gravitas with a prominent jaw and close-cropped beard, consistent with surviving likenesses of Licinius I. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Siscia — modern Sisak in Croatia — was one of the most productive mints of the Tetrarchic and Constantinian periods, strategically positioned on the Sava River to supply the Danubian frontier. This aureus dates to a particularly fraught moment: 316 was the year Constantine and Licinius fought their first civil war, culminating in the Battle of Cibalae in October, after which Licinius was forced to cede his Danubian territories, including Siscia itself, to Constantine.
The mint changed hands as a direct consequence of that defeat.
