Obverse: Licinius II was the son of the Roman emperor Licinius I. He held the imperial rank of caesar between March 317 and September 324, while his father was augustus, and he was twice Roman consul. After losing a civil war, his father lost power and both he and Licinius the Younger were eventually put to death. Reverse: Camp gates on Late Roman Imperial coins became popular after they were first issued under Diocletian and later under Constantine, for example. The camp gate itself signifies military strength and preparation, thus proclaiming the prowess of the empire, and could have been a result of the rapid fortification of cities late in the empire. The inscription reads "PROVIDENTIAE CAESS" roughly translated 'for the provision (or foresight) of the Caesars'.
