| Additional information |
By 320–321, the uneasy peace between Licinius and Constantine was disintegrating. Licinius had begun purging Christians from his court and army — a direct provocation given Constantine's alignment with the church — and both emperors were maneuvering toward the final confrontation that would come at Chrysopolis in 324. The Aquileia mint, firmly within Constantine's Italian territory, was issuing coinage in Licinius's name as a diplomatic formality that fooled no one.
RIC VII 67 is among the last issues bearing Licinius's titles from this mint before the relationship collapsed entirely.
