miliarense
The ''miliarense'' (neuter form of the late Latin ''miliarensis'', "pertaining to a thousand"; plural: ''miliarensia'') was a large silver coin, introduced to the late Roman monetary system in the early 4th century. It was struck with variable fineness, generally with a weight between 3.8 and 6.0 grams, and a diameter of c.23-24mm. The ''miliarense'' was struck first under Constantine the Great (r. 306–337).〔''Minerva'', "Roman silver from Somerset", Jan/Feb 2003, pg 48 by Stephen Minnitt〕
There were two kinds of ''miliarense'' coins: light and heavy. It took 14 heavy ''miliarensia'' and 18 light ''miliarensia'' to equal one gold ''solidus'' (as also introduced by Constantine). ''Miliarensia'' are highly desired by numismatists of the present day, due to both the rarity of the denomination (far less common than the ''siliqua'') and the often exquisite execution of both bust and reverse types, which led to many being used as pendants or mounted in antiquity.
A variant of the original denomination was revived in the Byzantine silver coinage from the 8th 〔Grierson, Philip (1982), Byzantine coins, Taylor & Francis, ISBN 978-0-416-71360-2〕 to the 11th centuries (see ''miliaresion'').
