NGC VF Roman AE of Licinius II (AD 317- 324) VERY FINE Certified Ancient Coin

NGC (VF) Roman AE of Licinius II (AD 317- 324). Licinius I was a partner and rival to Constantine the Great, serving as the Eastern Emperor of Rome. His marriage to Constantine's half-sister Constantia forestalled civil and provided the backdrop for one of Constantine's greatest accomplishments, the Edict of Milan, which legalized Christianity in the Empire. In time, Licinius I was executed on the orders of his brother-in-law-hung to death after his defeat at the Battle of Chrysopolis. Licinius the Younger (Licinius II) was spared at this time due to his relation to Constantine but he seems to have been involved in the conspiracy against his first cousin Crispus, and he was also executed in 326.
