In

Roman mythology

,

Jupiter
or

Jove was the

king of the gods

, and the god of

sky and

thunder
. He

is

the equivalent of Zeus

in the

Greek pantheon

. He was called Iuppiter (or Diespiter)

Optimus Maximus (“Father God the Best and Greatest”). As the patron deity of

ancient

Rome
, he ruled over laws and social order. He was the chief god of the

Capitoline Triad

, with sister/wife

Juno

. Jupiter is also the father of the god

Mars

with Juno. Therefore, Jupiter is the grandfather of

Romulus and Remus

, the legendary founders of Rome. Jupiter was venerated in

ancient Roman religion

, and is still venerated in

Roman Neopaganism

. He is a son of

Saturn

, along with brothers

Neptune

and

Pluto

.

He is also the brother/husband of

Ceres

(daughter of Saturn and mother of

Proserpina
),

brother of Veritas

(daughter of Saturn), and father of

Mercury

.

Licinianus Licinius (c. 263 – 325) was

Roman emperor

from 308 to 324.

Of Dacian

(Thracian)

peasant origin, born in

Moesia

Superior, Licinius accompanied his close childhood friend, the Emperor

Galerius
,

on the Persian expedition in 297. After the death of

Flavius Valerius Severus

, Galerius elevated Licinius to the rank of

Augustus

in the West on November 11, 308. He received as his immediate

command the provinces of

Illyricum

, Thrace

and Pannonia

.

On the death of Galerius, in May 311, Licinius shared the

eastern empire with

Maximinus

Daia, the

Hellespont

and the

Bosporus

being the dividing line.

In March 313 he married

Flavia Julia Constantia

, half-sister of

Constantine

, at Mediolanum (now

Milan
); they had

a son, Licinius the Younger

, in 315. Their marriage was the occasion for the

jointly-issued “Edict

of Milan” that restored confiscated properties to Christian congregations

and allowed

Christianity

to be professed in the empire.

In the following month, on April 30, Licinius inflicted a

decisive defeat on Maximinus at the

Battle of Tzirallum

, after Maximinus had tried attacking him. Then, Licinius

established himself master of the East, while his brother-in-law, Constantine,

was supreme in the West.

In 314, a civil war erupted between Licinius and Constantine,

in which Constantine prevailed at the

Battle of Cibalae

in

Pannonia

(October 8, 314) and again two years later, when Licinius named

Valerius Valens

co-emperor, in the plain of

Mardia

(also known as

Campus Ardiensis

) in

Thrace
. The

emperors were reconciled after these two battles and Licinius had his co-emperor

Valens killed.

Licinius’ fleet of 350 ships was defeated by Constantine I’s

fleet in 323. In 324, Constantine, tempted by the “advanced age and unpopular

vices” of his colleague, again declared war against him, and, having defeated

his army of 170,000 men at the

Battle of Adrianople

(July 3, 324), succeeded in shutting him up within the

walls of Byzantium

. The defeat of the superior fleet of Licinius in the

Battle of the Hellespont

by

Crispus
,

Constantine’s eldest son and

Caesar

, compelled his withdrawal to

Bithynia
,

where a last stand was made; the

Battle of Chrysopolis

, near

Chalcedon

(September 18), resulted in Licinius’ final submission. While Licinius’

co-emperor

Sextus Martinianus

was killed, Licinius himself was spared due to the pleas

of his wife, Constantine’s sister, and interned at

Thessalonica

. The next year, Constantine had him killed, accusing him of

conspiring to raise troops among the barbarians.

//

 Serbian

tradition

For unknown reasons, Licinius was traditionally for centuries

throughout the entire

Serbian

historiography considered as a

Serb

and as a forefather of the

House of Nemanjić

. This only changed with historical accounts of

Slavic

migrations by 19th century historians.
