Description
Licinius I 308-324 A.D.Born in 263, Licinius I rose to the rank of Augustus of the West, when so appointed by Gallerius.
The edict issued by Gallerius, granting some rights to Christians, was reissued jointly by Licinius I and Constantine the great.
But the two were competitors, and Constantine eventually had Licinius I executed in 325 A.D.
