Forced into slavery? I was under the impression he was executed. Druworos ( talk) 13:53, 22 July 2008 (UTC)
Please discuss any proposals to rename (move) this article here, before carrying it into effect. Urselius ( talk) 20:51, 28 September 2017 (UTC)
Despite the plea above, the article was renamed (moved) without discussion. The new name, "Licinius Caesar" is not one that is in widespread use in scholarship, with both 'Licinius II' and 'Licinius the Younger' being more popular. Wikimedia must faithfully represent scholarship. I will move the article to "Licinius II (Caesar)" as a temporary expedient, pending further discussion and perhaps full reversion - would require admin intervention. Urselius ( talk) 07:45, 27 August 2020 (UTC)
What source gives "Licinius II" or "the Younger" anyway? Avis11 ( talk) 23:19, 1 September 2020 (UTC)
The PLRE says: "He was granted his life in 324 Ann. Val. 5. 29, but was executed by Constantine I in 326". Kienast's Kaisertabelle" also says 326. Both of these sources say Licinius senior was killed in 325. But Barnes's New Empire says: "deposed in autumn 324 (Origio 29), then executed ( Eutropius, Brev. 10.6.3), presumably at the same time as his father."

Avis11 You've removed the link to gens Licinia. All the relevant emperors are listed on that page, so I'm curious about the rationale. GPinkerton ( talk) 16:39, 10 September 2020 (UTC)
