This remarkable facing head Aureus commemorates the fifth anniversary of the young Caesar Licinius II as well as the tenth anniversary of his father, Licinius I. Although early, the facing portrait here established the precedent for what would become a standard type of late Roman/Byzantine numismatic imperial iconography: the facing portrait coins of the Licinii are extremely rare, those of Constantius II who revived the type are much more common, and with the joint reigns of Arcadius and Honorius it becomes the norm, lasting in various forms through the entirety of Byzantine coinage.
