| Additional information |
Londinium's mint had a complicated existence under the Tetrarchy — opened by Carausius during his breakaway British empire in the 280s, it was retained by Rome after Constantius I reclaimed Britain in 296 and remained productive into the Constantinian period. This issue falls during the uneasy peace between Licinius and Constantine following the Battle of Cibalae in 314, when both emperors were minting aggressively across their respective territories, partly as a demonstration of administrative reach. RIC VII #49 is among the better-documented London issues of the period, though the mint would close permanently around 325.
