		The antoninianus was introduced by Caracalla in 214 AD, and was named after him, his official name being Marcus Aurelius Antoninus.
		The antoninianus, which had started as a silver coin, had its silver content reduced to that of a thin silver coating, and eventually even this pretence stopped, later coins being completely base metal, and smaller, during the reign of Gallienus from 253 to 268 AD.
		The distinguishing feature of the obverse type for the antoninianus is a radiate crown, on the head or bust of the emperors, or a large crescent below the portrait of empresses.

		The antoninianus was first introduced by the emperor Caracalla in 214 A.D. Although the original name of the antoninianus is unknown, we have named it after Caracalla.
		He introduced the antoninianus because he had debased the silver content in the denarius to a minute 40%, which is VERY low for a coin which is supposed to be 100% silver.
		Twenty-five years after the antoninianus was introduce, Gordian III (known as the “Boy Emperor”, since he was only 13 when he ascended the throne) replaced the denarius with the antoninianus and made it the main currency of the

		The most common denomination was the double denarius or antoninianus first issued by Caracalla late in 214 AD.
		By the time of Decius, the coin was still struck in silver alloy of a silvery color but the weight had fallen off from the earlier issues.
		Rotating the antoninianus so the overstruck design traces were positioned as on the Geta allowed matching up of several other design points.

		The antoninianus ('coin of Antoninus') was first issued under Caracalla (properly: Marcus Aurelius Antoninus) in 214 AD.
		The name was first given to the denomination after it was no longer current; we have no idea what the coin was called at the time of issue.
		To distinguish the double denomination from the denarii, antoninianus portraits show the emperor (and male Caesars!) wearing a radiate crown.

		Eventually, the antoninianus pushed the denarius out of circulation, sometime in the middle of the third century.
		Eventually, the antoninianus became debased, until it was really no more than a silver "washed", mainly base metal coin.
		The antoninianus are all of the later "washed" variety, but all have a trace of their original silvery luster and are very pleasing examples.

		GGG was used again in the late 4th - early 5th centuries when the family of Theodosius included three Augusti but I am not aware of its use by the three sons of Constantine who served together in the middle 4th century.
		Not that GGG is not enough to make a coin special: Remember that I stated above that the three Augusti included Numerian.
		The same, but opposite, theory would allow the mint to have added the third G to correct the ommission of the third party after initially using AVGG.
