The Antoninianus or pre-reform radiate, was a coin used during the Roman Empire thought to have been valued at 2 denarii. It was initially silver but was slowly debased to bronze with a minimal silver content. The coin was introduced by Caracalla in early 215 AD.

Traders would keep the older Antoninianus coins for trading and pay taxes with the new lower grade coin that had high copper content.
