Licinius I (Latin: Gaius Valerius Licinianus Licinius Augustus; c. 263-325) was
a Roman emperor from 308 to 324. For most of his reign he was the colleague and
rival of Constantine I, with whom he co-authored the Edict of Milan that granted
official toleration to Christians in the Roman Empire. He was finally defeated
at the Battle of Chrysopolis, before being executed on the orders of Constantine
I.
