<p>[QUOTE=&quot;John Anthony, post: 1957220, member: 42773&quot;]Nice coins. The Philip I is a double-denarius, although it only contains 1 1/2 times the silver of a single denarius. It&#039;s also known as an antoninianus, after Caracalla (<i>Marcus Aurelius Severus <b>Antoninus </b>Augustus).</i> The association between one of Caracalla&#039;s names and the coin is false - we don&#039;t know what they were called by the Romans - but the term has stuck over time. Sometimes they get called &quot;ants&quot; for short.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
