The Antoninianus was a Roman coin used during the 2nd and 3rd century thought to have been valued at 2 denarii It was initially silver, but slowly changed to bronze. 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 showed the emperor in a radiate radiate bust indicating that it was valued at twice as much. Over the years many emperors issued a vast variety and types of antoninianii.
