Comment
Not listed in RICInteresting fact
The Antoninianus coin was introduced during the reign of Emperor Claudius II (268-270 AD) as a replacement for the denarius, which had been the standard Roman silver coin for centuries. The Antoninianus was made of silver, but it was smaller and lighter than the denarius, weighing only 2.33 grams compared to the denarius' 3.9 grams. Despite its smaller size, the Antoninianus was valued at twice the amount of the denarius, reflecting the inflationary pressures of the time. This coin was widely used throughout the Roman Empire and remained in circulation for centuries, making it a popular collector's item today.
