<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Drusus, post: 622689, member: 6370&quot;]It started in earnest under his son Caracalla who began issuing the Antoninianus. Named after Caracalla whose real name was Antoninus...change to that from his original name Bassianus for its connection to Antoninus Pius and Marcus Aurelius. The real name of this currency is unknown. It was worth 2 denarii but only had about 1.5 denarii worth of silver in it...after than the coins rapidly debased to bronze and copper with little to no silver content.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
