Miliarense
The miliarense (plural: miliarensia) was a large Roman silver coin that was introduced in the 4th century under Emperor Constantine the Great and only in small numbers with a weight between 3.8 and 6.0 grams and a diameter between 23 and 24 mm was coined.
There are two types of miliarense: light and heavy. 14 severe miliarensia and 18 light miliarensia each corresponded to a solidus .
A variant of the original term was for the Byzantine silver coins called μιλιαρήσιον Miliaresion used from the 8th to 11th centuries. This coin, weighing between 2.0 and 2.8 g, was the Byzantine edition of the Islamic dirhem , which had been minted since the 7th century .
