| Additional information |
Licinius struck this issue at Heraclea immediately following his decisive victory over Maximinus Daia at the Battle of Tzirallum in April 313 — the same campaign that extinguished the last serious challenger to the Tetrarchic settlement in the East. Heraclea, situated on the Propontis, was one of the most productive mints of the period and served Licinius as both a propaganda tool and a military paymaster throughout his wars.
RIC VI 65 belongs to a workshop sequence that can be die-linked across the Heraclean officinae, with mintmark variations documented in the OCRE corpus.
