Resumo

O artigo aborda introdutóriamente a questão econômica da Crise do Século Terceiro no Império Romano através da variação da desvalorização da moeda cunhada em prata, procurando recensear uma gradual pendência rumo à um papel mais intenso das cunhagens em bronze na estrutra da monetização romana. O avanço desta modalidade está intimamente ligado a Reforma Diocleciana, que é questionada em caráter duplo, como uma falha no controle inflacionário mas, ao mesmo tempo, como uma importante mudança na lógica de entendimento da moeda. Em seguida, se argumenta a coexistência de Modos Monetários diversos da moeda cunhada como elementos fundamentais para a promoção da monetização, caracterizando a Crise do Século Terceiro como um momento de interrupção destas estruturas. A grande inovação da Reforma Diocleciana seria, então, abarcar elementos antes originários dos Modos Monetários nas novas seriações em bronze.
