Back when the dollar was pegged to gold, a coin with a weight like that of the aureus would roughly value at $875brSo a roman manual laborer's monthly salary would be around $875 Keep in mind that this number made him live out and his family for a whole month, this just shows how much inflation erodes purchasing power

Thank you for your skill with Latin So many lecturers and documentary narrators butcher Latin so terribly

Money divides people from essential life! No matter what form of material money comes from! Money separates people from what it takes to stay alive!
Comment from : A Concerned Citizen

Wow that was great classical pronunciation! Latin is such a beautiful language
Comment from : Nicholas Ricardo

This was a very easy to understand look at Roman coinage! Thanks for breaking it down It was very interesting to see you actually handle real coins
Comment from : JDNJDM

Thumb's up for a wonderful job! What is surprising is that it seems the sestertius and not the denarius was the standard denomination of account for the Romans The currency symbol used for sestertii was 𐆘

I recently bought a coin of Hadrian that was said to be a As and it looks to be copper but weighs 25 grams from 118 were some coins struck this heavy or is it possible it may be a sesteseus given the Patina does anyone know of the as being struck heavy?

Hi Where are the links to know more about monetary sistems from Rome? Greets from Argentina!
Comment from : Seba Centurión

Germanicus means "conqueror of the Germans", or something along those lines But, this word on coins doesn't indicate that the emperors did this, but instead, is a claim of relation to Drusus the Elder (Who was given the honorific title after death) and/or his son Germanicus (Caligula's father, Nero's grandfather) Or am I wrong about this?

Great video!

I've only been collecting Roman coins for a short while now, so found this video most helpful! 👍 😁 Clear and concise Thank you
Comment from : Mark Harris

I'm currently collecting a denarius for each of the 5 good emperors I just had my first one (Trajan) come in today! it's reverse is providentia and it was supposedly part of the final batch of coins minted during Trajan's reign, though idk about that last part It's a really neat coin and I can't wait to get the other 4!

Comment from : Gordon Grant

Could you please explain the difference in the terms As, asses, assar, assarion, assarii, assarius brand should you be able to tell me which one would fit properly in Matthew 10:29 in the Bible?
Comment from : Phillip Green

Question, what faces and text would have been on all of these coins during the time Augustus was alive as Emperor? If they were minted while he lived that is, much of these are after his time

Well done, much appreciated, Ta Classi Numi
Comment from : Mick von Bornemann

If I remember correctly, some of the "Germanicus" are inherited names from their adoptive families as the Julian dynasty adopted their successors

Super video
Comment from : Thomas Lamb

1:12 The way you said 'hi everyone!' as soon as that statue of Trajan showed up made it seem like he was the one teaching people about ancient coins xD
Comment from : That One Guy

10:00 I knew Nero was a thicc emperor, but I never knew even the coin depicted his thicc neck!
Comment from : Ausfy Ausfy

Very interesting! Thank you for the vid
Comment from : David Johns

That Augustus denarius is so beautiful!brbrIt’s truly a museum worthy piecebrbrIn my experience it’s extremely rare for the entire circle around the portrait of a coin to remain Sometimes parts of it remains but the entire thing is rarebrbrIt’s definitely an overweight denariusbrbrOh and an expensive one! I could see that selling for $5,000 easilybrbrI’ve been looking for an Augustus denarius in similar condition (even without the full circle) with a $2,500 budget and so far I’ve found nothingbrbrDon’t even get me started on trying to find a reasonably priced denarius of Caligula
Comment from : Blake S

Actually you couldn’t buy a modius of wheat with a quadransbrbrIn the first century under Augustus a modius of wheat cost roughly 32 asses or 2 denariibrbrHowever a quadrans was exactly the cost of entrance to the Roman baths
Comment from : Blake S

I have a Roman AR Drachm of Trajan that I recently acquired The coin was apparently minted in the Eastern Roman empire around 100AD Would that have the equivalent value of a Denarius? Also, did the Eastern part of the Roman empire in imperial times maintain its own denominations?

Thank you! I’m very new to coin collecting but Roman coins are one of my interests
Comment from : Harrison Filler

I am pretty sure that the name Germanicus on the coins of Claudius and Nero were family names that had something to do with this guy: enwikipediaorg/wiki/Germanicus
Comment from : Discovering History

Nice video that cleared up a lot of questions for a beginner! How about later roman coinage? Like the follis, solidus and other denominations you see Diocletian and later?
