Diocletian | AE Reform Radiate Reference: RIC VI 13 Date: 295-296 CE Obverse: IMP C C VAL DIOCLETIANVS P F AVG; bust, radiate, draped, cuirassed, right Reverse: CONCORDIA MILITVM; Diocletian, draped, cuirassed, standing right, receiving small Victory on globe from Jupiter; Jupiter, standing left, leaning on sceptre with left hand. HE in lower center field. Mint: Heraclea Size: 21.0 mm Weight: 2.65 grams A new denomination from Diocletian's monetary reform. In late 295 - early 296 CE, Diocletian reformed the imperial coinage. The debasement crisis of the third century had converted the silver denominations into bronze coins coated with a thin silver wash. Diocletian introduced a new silver coin, the argenteus; reformed the aureius to a new weight standard; and introduced a new primary bronze denomination, the follis. On top of this, he also eliminated the XXI-bearing reform antoninianii of Aurelian and replaced them with a lighter weight radiate. This coin is a nice example of the latter.
