• Notes

  Licinius was of peasant origin; his family was from Dacia. A second war between Constantine and Licinius took place in 324.Licinius was defeated twice on July 3 at Adrianople and on September 18at Chrysopolis. Soon thereafter, he surrendered to Constantine.Constantia interceded with her half-brother for the life of her husband,and Constantine spared Licinius' life, ordering him to reside atThessalonike as a private citizen. A few months later, in the spring of325, Constantine ordered Licinius to be executed, violating the oathwhich he had sworn to Constantia. A year or so later, in 326, theyounger Licinius also fell victim to Constantine's wrath or suspicions.
