| | Sestertius - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | The sestertius is highly valued by numismatists, due to their large size they gave celators (engravers) a large area to produce detailed portraits and reverse types. | | | It and the dupondius were produced out of a golden-colored alloy known to numismatists as orichalcum. | | | The sestertius was also used as a standard unit of account. |

| | Dupondius - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
| | With the coinage reform of Augustus in 23 BC, the sestertius and dupondius were produced in a golden alloy of bronze called orichalcum by numismatists, while lower denominations were produced out of reddish copper. | | | The dupondius was manufactured until the late 3rd century AD. | | | The type was not produced much during the Republic. |

| | Another says that sestertium is just the adjective form modifying mille-- in which case you would expect milia sestertia, and this does appear sometimes. | | | The sestertius contained originally 2 1/2 asses, the quinarius 5, and the denarius 10; but as the as depreciated in value, the number of asses in these coins was increased. | | | This set maximum prices for which goods could be sold. |

| | ROMAN IMPERIAL COINAGE |
| | Made from orichalcum,¹ a mixture of copper and tin somewhat like brass. | | | The introduction of the antoninianus into the monetary system by Emperor Caracalla quickly forced the denarius out of circulation, and after AD244 denarii were no longer issued with many being over-struck by the state and converted into antoniniani. | | | They were intended as a replacement for the sestertius. |

| | SESTERTIUS ROMAN PENDANT |
| | These big coins gave the engraver a lot of surface area. | | | HOW TO To date, this is THE largest Roman coin I have ever mounted and regardless of size, it is probably one of the finest and most beautiful ancient Roman bronze coins you will see. | | | This is a thick issue coin that offers a very realistic and accurate portrait not just of Mamaea but of Roman hair and clothing style. |

| | An interesting sestertius of Antoninus Pius |
| | I suspect it was actual breakage of the die, rather than quality control, that generally caused the withdrawal of such dies from use! | | | However, it is unusual to find such a large break on a Roman sestertius. | | | The depressions around the letters of the rev. legend on your coin are not signs of die wear as you thought, nor 19th-cent. |
