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 Siscia Mint
Siscia (modern Sisak, Croatia) was a major late Roman mint, operating from the late third century through the late fourth century. It produced large quantities of bronze coinage for the Danube frontier region.
