Note: Licinius II, the son of Licinius I, served as Caesar in the Roman Empire during the early 4th century AD. His short-lived reign was marked by political instability and conflicts with other claimants to the imperial throne. The coin serves as a testament to Licinius II’s brief period of authority and his efforts to assert his legitimacy as Caesar. The imagery of the campgate reflects the importance of military defense and stability during this tumultuous period in Roman history.
