Monetary Reformation

Coins are starving for silver and there is only one way to feed them.

In tumultuous times, Rome's Emperors often ordered the minting of additional coins, usually of lower value as silver was diluted with bronze and copper to increase the quantity produced. The debased money was usually then spent to secure the army support, on which troubled Emperors were heavily dependent. Aurelian attempted to revive the faltering Roman economy by recalling all the old coins and introducing new ones that contained more silver. The financial situation had been so dire that the new antoninianus coin, containing only 5% silver (a meagre amount compared to old silver denarius), was a significant improvement over its predecessor.
