Licinius II (AD 317 - AD 324)

Valerius Licinianus Licinius or Licinius II 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. After his father's defeat to Constantine, Licinius II was forced into slavery and thereafter lost to history.
