"The

Semis literally means half, and the semis
coin was valued at half an as. The IOVI coins
were issued as part of a coin reform by Licinius
in his territories (mints of Heraclea,
Nicomedia, Cyzicus, Antioch, and Alexandria) and
were reduced in value from
25 to 12 and a half. |

"The rapidly passing employment of the name Constantinus for the younger Licinius shows that the cordial relations between the two Imperial Houses very soon cooled off." (RIC VII pg 29) |
