Argenteus
The argenteus (pl. argentei, 'of silver') was a
Roman numeral
XCVI on the coin's reverse.
One aureus equaled 25 argentei and one argenteus equaled 8 folles.
The term argenteus, meaning "of silver" in
Ammianus uses the same phrase, though there is no indication that this is the official name for a denomination. The Historia Augusta
uses the phrase to refer to several fictitious coins.
