The radiate or ''Post-reform radiate'' (the Latin name, like many Roman coins of this time, is unknown), was a Roman coin introduced by Diocletian during his reforms. The radiate looked very similar to the Antoninianus, with a radiate crown like Sol Invictus, apart from the absence of the "XXI" marking that numismatists believe indicated that the coin contained 20 parts bronze to 1 part silver. The radiate had little or no silver content. The weight varies between 2.23〔http://www.wildwinds.com/coins/ric/diocletian/_cyzicus_RIC_015a.5.txt retrieved 13 sept 2006〕 and 3.44 grams.〔http://www.wildwinds.com/coins/ric/diocletian/_cyzicus_RIC_015a.txt〕 On known radiates there is only one image: ''Jupiter presents Victory on a globe to Diocletian'' (Wildwinds〔http://www.wildwinds.com/coins/ric/diocletian/_cyzicus_RIC_015a.5.txt〕), with the mintmark between the human images〔http://www.wildwinds.com/coins/ric/diocletian/_heraclea_RIC_013.jpg〕 There are also known radiates of Maximian, Constantius I, and Galerius, Diocletian's co-rulers, in the same style. ==References== Accessed on 13 September 2006 *(Radiate on Forumancientcoins ) *(Doug smith information on denomination ) 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Radiate (coin)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
