| Beschrijving voorzijde | Laureate, draped, and cuirassed bust of Licinius II as Caesar facing right, rendered in the late Roman imperial style with bold, slightly stylized features characteristic of the Constantinian period. The laureate wreath is clearly delineated, and the paludamentum (military cloak) is visible over the cuirass at the shoulder. The circumferential Latin legend runs along the outer border, naming the young Caesar in full titulature. The portrait, though small in module, projects imperial authority befitting the junior co-ruler. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Licinius II was elevated to Caesar in March 317 as part of the Conference of Serdica compromise, a negotiated settlement that briefly ended open hostilities between Licinius I and Constantine I. The two Augusti, having fought to a near-stalemate at Cibalae and the Campus Ardiensis, agreed to partition the empire and simultaneously elevate their sons — Crispus and Constantine II alongside young Licinius — to cement the arrangement dynastically. The boy was roughly one year old at the time of his proclamation.
The Nicomedia mint was Licinius's principal eastern facility, and PROVIDENTIAE CAESS issues from this period are well-documented in RIC VII with multiple officina variants under the same type number.
