The Senate nevertheless acclaimed him emperor. Tacitus then went to the army, where his appointment was accepted. He reportedly promised to govern with the authority of the Senate and presented himself as a ruler chosen through senatorial deliberation rather than military force.
Antoninianus of Tacitus, reading "IMPerator Caesar Marcus CLavdius TACITVS AVGustus"

Third-century hoards are huge because the coinage collapsed: the antoninianus fell from roughly half silver under Caracalla to silver-washed copper by the 260s. Frome, 52,503 coins, showed the other half - the pot was too big to lift once full, so it went in the ground empty and was filled there.

Definitely. I distinctly remember having "Constitutio Antoninianus" rolling through my brain ad infinitum when I was playing hockey on a friday night in junior year of high school. These words would become a stim if unchecked lol

Cómo se determinaba la devaluación de una moneda en la antigüedad o el medievo? El usuario final tenía alguna forma de saberlo sin tener que llegar a ver las tremendas devaluaciones como la del antoninianus que no era más que bronce con baño de plata bajo Galieno?

Net daarom gaat 't zo hard c. 260-270. Pestgolf, keizer levend gevangen genomen door Perzen, rivaliserende Transalpijnse en Levantijnse keizerlijke regimes, ... dit zet zo danig druk op staatskas waarbij zilvermunt zo hard gedevalueerd wordt komend decennium dat die nog slechts 5% edelmetaal bevat.
Decline silver content of the Antoninianus to barely 5% in 270s

Antoninianus (Coin) Portraying Emperor Balbinus https://www.artic.edu/artworks/5700/
The front (obverse) of this coin portrays a bust of Emperor Balbinus facing right, with a radiate crown and wearing a cuirass and paludamentum. The back (reverse) depicts two hands clasped. Since few citizens actually saw their sovereign, recognizable symbols such as crowns, robes, and regalia served to identify the ruler on coinage. The ray-like crown depicted on Balbinus’s head associated the emperor with the sun much like a halo indicates a holy being. Gift of Martin A. Ryerson
