Licinius I, 11 November 308 - 18 September 324 A.D.
|Licinius| |I|, |Licinius| |I,| |11| |November| |308| |-| |18| |September| |324| |A.D.|, "'Argenteus' is the modern name of the 95% fine silver coins of about 3.15 grams which the Tetrarchy issued beginning with Diocletian's coinage reform in 294. They were struck at a nominal 96 to the Roman libra (pound), which gave them a theoretical weight of 3.40 grams, but the government simply over-valued them. The term 'siliqua' replaces the term 'argenteus' during the reign of Constantine I, but argenteus is applied interchangeably with the term '1½ siliqua' for fourth and fifth century Roman silver coins struck at about 3.0 grams (since the siliqua was reduced to about 2.0 grams about 355)." - Moneta Historical Research by Thomas Schroer
