Valerius Licinianus Licinius, Licinius II or Licinius the

Younger (approx. 315-326), was the son of Roman emperor

Licinius
.

He nominally served as

Caesar

in the eastern empire from 317 to 324 A.D while his father was

Augustus

. His mother was Licinius’ wife

Flavia Julia Constantia

, who was also the half-sister of

Constantine I

.

After his defeat by Constantine at the

Battle of Chrysopolis

, Licinius the elder was initially spared and placed in

captivity at

Thessalonica

. However, within a year Constantine seems to have regretted his

leniency and the former Emperor was hanged.

The younger Licinius, who was Constantine’s nephew, also fell victim to the

emperor’s suspicions and was killed, probably in the context of the execution of

Crispus
in

326.

Other reports relate that Licinius the younger was forced into slavery in the

imperial textile factories in Africa, where he is noted in 336. However, the

imperial rescript of 336 makes it clear that the “son of Licinianus” referred to

was not Licinius II as it directs that he be reduced to the slave status of his

birth. No son of Constantine’s sister would have been referred to in this

manner.
