About the Antoninianus
The antoninianus (also called the radiate or double-denarius) was introduced by Caracalla in 215 AD. Identified by the radiate crown on the emperor's portrait, it was nominally worth two denarii. The denomination underwent severe debasement during the third-century crisis, becoming essentially bronze by the 260s.
About the Mediolanum Mint
Mediolanum (modern Milan) was an imperial residence and mint from the late third century. It was particularly important under Maximian and during the fourth-century civil wars.
