Crossword-Solution: LICINIUS 8 letters, 1 clue 🏆 scrabble score: 10

Licinius was in every station the friend and companion of Galerius, and the merit of Galerius, long before he was raised to the dignity of Cæsar, had been known and esteemed by Diocletian.

Licinius was probably born about the year 250.] 54 (return) [ See the sixty-second and sixty-third books of Dion Cassius.] When Tiridates appeared on the frontiers of Armenia, he was received with an unfeigned transport of joy and loyalty.

His tenderness, or at least his pride, was deeply wounded by the misfortunes of his wife and daughter; and the last moments of Diocletian were imbittered by some affronts, which Licinius and Constantine might have spared the father of so many emperors, and the first author of their own fortune.

Licinius, whose manners as well as character were not unlike his own, seems to have engaged both his affection and esteem.

During the short period of his prosperity, he considered the rank of Cæsar as unworthy of the age and merit of Licinius, and rather chose to reserve for him the place of Constantius, and the empire of the West.
