In ancient Roman religion and myth , Jupiter
(Latin: Iuppiter) or Jove is the king of the gods and the god of sky and thunder
. Jupiter was the chief deity of Roman state religion throughout the Republican
and Imperial eras, until the Empire came under Christian rule . In Roman
mythology , he negotiates with Numa Pompilius , the second king of Rome , to
establish principles of Roman religion such as sacrifice.
Jupiter is usually thought to have originated as a sky god.
Valerius Licinianus Licinius, Licinius II or
Licinius the Younger (approx. 315-326), 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,
who was also the half-sister
of Constantine I.
After his defeat by Constantine at the Battle of Chrysopolis, Licinius the elder
was initially spared and placed in captivity at Thessalonica. However, within a
year Constantine seems to have regretted his leniency and the former Emperor was
hanged.
The younger Licinius, who was Constantine's nephew, also fell victim to the
emperor's suspicions and was killed, probably in the context of the execution of
Crispus in 326.
Other reports relate that Licinius the younger was forced into slavery in the
imperial textile factories in Africa, where he is noted in 336. However, the
imperial rescript of 336 makes it clear that the "son of Licinianus" referred to
was not Licinius II as it directs that he be reduced to the slave status of his
birth. No son of Constantine's sister would have been referred to in this
manner.
