<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Terence Cheesman, post: 7602675, member: 86498&quot;]Other than the antoninianus&nbsp; there are no multiple denarii from the mint of Rome except for some extremely&nbsp; rare silver coins which are most likely medallions. I cannot recall seeing any of these offered for sale. After the collapse of the silver coinage circa 260 AD, the denarius was replaced by a coin which we call the argenteus and that coin eventually mutated into the siliqua. There are a number of multiples of that coin and some though scarce are available. </p><p>In the east the tetradrachm survived. Starting with Augustus this denomination survived. The cistophoric standard coin survived until Septimius Severus and the tetradrachm minted in Antioch survived until Trebonianus Gallus.</p><p>&nbsp;Ar cistophorus of Augustus Pergamun 25-20 BC Obv.
