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 Ticinum Mint
Ticinum (modern Pavia, Italy) was a Roman mint active from the late third through the mid-fourth century. It was one of several northern Italian mints established during the Tetrarchic reforms.
