    Looks like it's Licinius 1. Scroll down until you see Arles RIC VII 240 in the left hand column, Arles is the town it was minted in I think. The mintmark is S star over crescent A, maybe that meant Arles I don't know.

    Obv: IMP LICI-NIVS AVG, laureate head right
    Rev: DN LICINI AVGVSTI around VOT dot XX,

    RIC VII Arles 240, rated C2

    Don't ask me anything about it coz I don't know. I just googled the info.
