As (Roman coin)The as (pl.: assēs; symbol: 𐆚), occasionally assarius (pl.: assarii; Ancient Greek: ἀσσάριον, romanized: assárion), was a bronze, and later copper, coin used during the Roman Republic and Roman Empire.
AntoninianusThe antoninianus or pre-reform radiate was a coin used during the Roman Empire thought to have been valued at 2 denarii. It was initially silver, but was slowly debased to bronze with a minimal silver content. The coin was introduced by Caracalla in early 215 AD. It was silver, similar to the denarius, except that it was slightly larger and featured the emperor wearing a radiate crown, indicating it was a double denomination.
DinarThe dinar (, ) is the name of the principal currency unit in several countries near the , with a more widespread historical use. The English word "dinar" is the transliteration of the Arabicدينار (dīnār), which was possibly borrowed via the Syriacdīnarā from the Latindēnārius or from the Arabic root däyn meaning debt. The modern gold dinar is a projected bulliongold coin, and as of 2019 is not issued as an official currency by any state.
Silver coinSilver coins are one of the oldest mass-produced form of coinage. Silver has been used as a coinage metal since the times of the Greeks; their silver drachmas were popular trade coins. The ancient Persians used silver coins between 612–330 BC. Before 1797, British pennies were made of silver. As with all collectible coins, many factors determine the value of a silver coin, such as its rarity, demand, condition and the number originally minted.

Currency symbolA currency symbol or currency sign is a graphic symbol used to denote a currency unit. Usually it is defined by a monetary authority, such as the national central bank for the currency concerned. A symbol may be positioned in various ways, according to national convention: before, after or between the numeric amounts: $2.50, 2,50€ and 250. Symbols are neither defined nor listed by international standard ISO 4217, which only assigns three-letter codes.
TetrarchyThe Tetrarchy was the system instituted by Roman emperor Diocletian to govern the ancient Roman Empire by dividing it between two emperors, the augusti, and their junior colleagues and designated successors, the caesares. It was kept in place between AD 293 and 324. Initially Diocletian chose Maximian as his caesar in 285, raising him to co-augustus the following year; Maximian was to govern the western provinces and Diocletian would administer the eastern ones.
