| | Roman currency - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | During the third century AD, the denarius was replaced by the double denarius, sometimes known as the antoninianus or radiate, which was then itself replaced during the monetary reform of Diocletian which created denominations such as the argenteus (silver) and the follis (silvered bronze). | | | The exact relationship and denomination of the bronze issues of a variety of sizes is not known, and is believed to have fluctuated heavily on the market. | | | Another reason for debasement was lack of raw metal with which to produce coins. |
