Facing imperial portraits rarely occur on Roman coins until the reign of Constantius II, when that emperor employed it as his standard type for his eastern mint solidi. Until then, however, there are only few instances of its use until the early third centuy A.D., when Maxentius used his facing portrait on some gold aurei struck ca. 310-312. In 316 Constantine the Great followed in Maxentius's numismatic footsteps on an issue of very rare solidi, although the representation of the emperor there is quite different from the earlier instance. The facing gold coins of the Licinius, of which there is a companion issue struck in the name of his son, Licinius II, were made only a half decade after Constantine's use of the type, and as we might expect, appear to be inspired by one or both of these earlier issues. They were struck specifically to commemorate Licinius's taking of the imperial vows - offering his thanks for a decade of accomplishments and his aspirations for a further decade of enlightened rule - which is signified by the inscription SIC X SIC XX on the front of the dais upon which Jupiter sits on the reverse of this coin. A further point of interest with this coin is Licinius's use of Jupiter on the reverse, which copies the great gold and ivory statue by Phidias that stood within the god's most important sanctuary at Olympia. By this time Constantine strongly favored Christianity, and the Edict of Milan which he and Licinius jointly proclaimed in 313 granted religious toleration for Christianity throughout the entire Roman Empire. Licinius was not a Christian, however, and his agreeing to the joint proclamation was probably merely to appease Constantine by giving the appearance of unity. Thus, Licinius's decision to use Jupiter to commemorate such a momentous occasion as his decennalian vows speaks volumes to the uneasy state of affairs that existed between the co-emperors at this time.

RIC 642; Woytek 590v. Rare Armenia-related reverse. Some tooling in the fields. Glossy dark reddish-brown patina. Sharpness of Extremely Fine. The client kingdom of Armenia served as a strategic buffer state between Rome's wealthy eastern provinces and the vast kingdom of the Parthians to the east. Every couple of generations throughout Roman history, the Parthians either invaded Armenia or installed a client king of their own choosing on its throne, which always prompted a strong response from Rome. In AD 114 during the latter part of Trajan's reign, the Parthians installed their own client king in Armenia. This upset the balance of power that had existed since the conquests of the Roman general Corbulo during Nero's reign. With the region thus destabilized, Trajan intervened militarily, restoring the kingdom as a Roman client state the following year. He then continued on into Parthian territory, even capturing and sacking the Parthian capital of Ctesiphon in 116. The reverse of this coin commemorates these conquests, and shows the emperor in military pose standing amongst the defeated figures of Mesopotamia and the Euphrates and Tigris rivers.
