Post-reform radiate
The post-reform radiate, was a Roman coin first issued by Diocletian during his currency reforms of AD 293–310. The radiate looked very similar to the Antoninianus, with a radiate crown, similar to the one worn by the Roman deity, Sol Invictus. It is different from the Antoninianus because of the absence of the "XXI" that existed on pre-reform radiates, a symbol believed to have indicated a consistence of 20 parts bronze to 1 part silver. The post-reform radiate had little or no silver content.
The weight can vary between 2.23 and 3.44 grams.
There also exists radiates of Maximian, Constantius I, and Galerius, Diocletian's co-rulers, in the same style.
