About the AE1
AE1 is a modern size classification for large late Roman bronze coins with a diameter of 25mm or more. The term is used when the ancient denomination name is uncertain. Coins in this class include the large folles of Diocletian's reform and the heavy bronzes of the early Constantinian period.
