	Sestertius - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In 23 BC, with the coinage reform of Augustus, the denomination of sestertius was introduced as the large bronze denomination.
		The double sestertius was distinguished from the sestertius by the radiate crown worn by the emperor, a device used to distinguish the dupondius from the as and the antoninianus from the denarius.
		Sestertius of Hadrian, dupondius of Antoninus Pius, and as of Marcus Aurelius

	Dupondius - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The dupondius (Latin two-pounder) was a bronze coin used during the Roman Empire and Roman Republic valued at 2 asses (1/2 of a sestertius or 1/8 of a denarius).
		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 further distinguished from the similarly sized as with the addition of a radiate crown to the bust of the emperor in 66 AD during the time of Nero.

		The principal Roman coins were the as, made of copper; the sestertius, the quinarius and the denarius, of silver; and the golden aureus.
		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.
		When used to describe large amounts of money the sestertius was often counted in milia(1000s), so they used the genitive plural of sestertius, but since sestertiorum is so long they shortened it to sestertium.

		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.
