<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dltsrq, post: 8193494, member: 75482&quot;]The first time I encountered the term <i>aurelianianus </i>(note the spelling) was in David Vagi&#039;s <i>Coinage and History of the Roman Empire </i>(1999). I had been interested in Roman coins for some 25 years by that time and had never come across the word in any of my reading. I have always been under the impression that David coined the term himself to distinguish the reformed double-denarii of Aurelian from those of Antoninus (Caracalla) but in the article below, he attributes it to &quot;an early sixth century A.D. text of Zosimus&quot;:</p><p><a href="https://www.coinworld.com/news/precious-metals/twice-as-nice.html" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.coinworld.com/news/precious-metals/twice-as-nice.html" rel="nofollow">https://www.coinworld.com/news/precious-metals/twice-as-nice.html&nbsp; </a></p><p><br /></p><p>[edited][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
