It was with Licinius that Constantine authored the Edict of Milan -- a monumental agreement that allowed freedom of religion within the Empire, effectively legalizing long-persecuted Christianity. In 316, however, their relationship exploded into a long and bloody civil war that was eventually settled at the Battle of Chrysopolis. Licinius was imprisoned in Thessaloniki and later executed. After his death, Licinius was subjected to \u003ci\u003edamnatio memoriae\u003c\/i\u003e -- the erasure of his name and image from official records, with the intention of making it as though Licinius never existed.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe history surrounding Constantine and his many rivals is long, sordid, bloody, and fascinating. Own a piece of it by bringing home this bronze coin, which features the effigy of Licinius.","brand":"Colonial Acres Coins","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52695912251681,"sku":"July.Week4.P3-KB1503","price":28.45,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0679\/1744\/7457\/files\/KB1503.jpg?v=1779457594","url":"https:\/\/www.colonialacres.com\/products\/mayw4-kb1503","provider":"Colonial Acres Coins","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
