It was initially silver, but was slowly debased to bronze with minimal silver content. The coin was introduced by Caracalla in early 215, and was a silver coin similar to the denarius except that it was slightly larger and featured the emperor wearing a radiate crown, indicating that it was a double denomination. In 271 Aurelian II increased the average weight of the Antoninianus. This was carried out for a short time. The decline in the silver content to the point where coins contained virtually no silver at all was countered by the monetary reform of Aurelian in 274. The standard for silver in the Antoninianus was set at twenty parts copper to one part silver.</p><p><br /></p><p>Just confused about what exactly you are saying in this thread ... :-([/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
