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 Antiocheia Syria Mint
Antiocheia (modern Antakya, Turkey) was one of the major eastern mints, operating from the Seleucid period through the late Roman Empire. It produced large volumes of silver and bronze coinage for the eastern provinces.
