At the beginning of the second war against Licinius, Licinius was forced to agrup all his forces to face the army of Constantinus leaving the limes empty of troops.
This fact was used by barbarous tribes to cross the "limes" to plunder the oriental empire. The advancing forces of Constantinus defeated the tribe of sarmatians when they were returning home loaded with slaves, gold an silver.
This was used by Constantinus to struck these coins giving to roman people the message that "Constantinus is defending ALL the Empire, including the zone under the rule of Licinius who is unable to do his work properly"
