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 Cyzicus Mint

Cyzicus (in modern Turkey) was a major eastern mint from the third century onward. Its mint mark typically appears as a variant of SMK in the reverse exergue of late Roman coinage.
