c. 225 CE to 258 CE
Viminacium or Viminatium was a major city (provincial capital) and military camp of the Roman province of Moesia (today's Serbia), and the capital of Moesia Superior (hence once Metropolitan archbishopric, now a Latin titular see). Under Emperor Gordian III, a mint was established here. Unlike many other provincial mints, the coins minted here bear Latin inscriptions. This makes them more collectible for many collectors than those with Greek inscriptions. Mainly copper and bronze (brass) coins were minted in the form of axes, dupondii and sestertii. It is also believed that some emissions of silver antoninianii can be attributed to Viminacium. Judging by the annual figures, the mint of Viminacium has produced up to and including the year XVI (254/255). However, under the emperor Valerianus (253-260) and his son Gallienus (253-268) silver antoninianii may have been minted until the year 257/258 until the mint was closed in that year after the revolt of Ingenuus.
