  • Towards the end of the year, Emperor Caracalla introduced a new coin unit in the Roman Empire , the (later named) Antoninianus . The Antoninian has a nominal value of two denarii and at the beginning of the minting a weight of about 5.5 grams. Calculated according to the fineness of silver, however, it is only 1½ denier from the start, a value that will decrease over the years.
  • In an inventory of the imperial palace in Rome, 17 tons of opium are counted.
