Talk:Post-reform radiate

Disputed
The article gives the impression that radiates were introduced by Diocletian. However my understanding is that the term applies more generally to coins with the obverse showing radiate crowns, and this also seems to be how the Portable Antiquities Scheme (PAS) is applying the term. For examples, refer to this search of Commons. The summary by PAS at https://finds.org.uk/romancoins/denominations/denomination/id/26 is also useful, and shows that radiate is used as a subset of antoninianus. --Fæ (talk) 12:40, 20 January 2017 (UTC)
 * My understanding is that the Antoninianus and radiate are synonyms. Nicolas Perrault (talk) 19:58, 5 February 2018 (UTC)
 * Antoniniani are usually radiate on coins depicting male imperial figures, and are often denoted by a crescent on the shoulders of female imperial figures.
 * Radiates have been known since pre-imperial times. So one can say that "all" antoniniani are radiates, but not all radiates are antoniniani.
 * Antoniniani were apparently introduced by Caracalla (hence the name). DK, wildwinds.com 2A00:D2E0:101:3E00:1C17:F9F0:F921:E7C6 (talk) 16:30, 24 March 2023 (UTC)

Wrong coin shown in image
The image shown is an Antoninianus of Gallienus. The post-reform radiate, while still including a radiate crown, was not the same coin. This image should be replaced with an actual post-reform radiate of one of the Tetrarchs1ThatGuyJoe1 (talk) 14:32, 6 May 2019 (UTC).

"References" aren't actual references
None of the references in this article can be considered valid sources: one of them is a blog; the other two are sites where coins can be auctioned. Even the first item in the Bibliography section is a site similar to Wikipedia itself where one needs only an account to edit articles. Is there some way to place a notice about lack of legitimate sources on the article? AnonymousMusician (talk) 14:55, 26 November 2019 (UTC)
