Never thought of them wearing down witb use; is it not also because people clipped around the edges of the coin; to essentially steal money; hence coins not being clipped past the outter ribbed inner circle; bc presumably it wouldnt be worth anything once clipped past that

The cuts on the coins are called "chop marks"

I’m looking to purchase an Augustan Aureus gold coin but I have no idea if the asking price is good or not brbrIs there a price guide that covers Roman gold coins?
Comment from : Doug McGaghie

Gold coins from Rome in India was discovered in plenty in the southern region now the states of Kerala and Tamil Nadu The cuts you shown is definitely not done in the name of fear of power of rome rather as a quality check This was also true for any other foreign power that has such solid coins with no proper indication of purity Considering Rome's fall starting from 1st century i wouldn't be surprised this practice being wide spread throughout the eastbrbrBTW such gold coins minted by local kingdom were found in the local region as early as 600 BCE in recent archaeological dig So i couldn't call later mints as copy of Roman coins rather a evolution

When I first started collecting Roman, you could buy, lower grade Roman gold for not much over it's gold value This was back 60 years ago I wonder if that is still the case?

I'd like a solidus of Majorian, or any coin of Majorian for that matter

The Antoninus Pius coin @16:12 was struck for over a decade, but it has COS IIII on it (4th year consul) Did each year have a different number on the coin (COS I, COS II, COS IX, etc)? Or was just one stamp (with COS 4) used for the entire period? So the underlying question is, can the COS numbers be used to determine the exact year the coin was minted?

A gold and silver coin had and has value even if the “emperor” on the coin didn’t rule or require “good faith and credit” of the issuing country!

The caduceus was a symbol of commerce? First time I hear that take on the symbol

I find the Domitian coin to be very interesting Since you say that the message from Vespasian by this coin is that his son, Domitian, would be a future Emperor This defies what most historians have said about Vespasian investing all his efforts to prepare his son, Titus, to become Emperor, while mostly ignoring Domitian According to the historians, Domitian, was left largely unprepared to become Emperor due to his father's neglect Either the historians got it wrong or Vespasian thought Domitian was adequately prepared to assume his future role

Would love to see the Aureus Nero and Agrippina filia from 54 AD
Comment from : rimskirimski

An ancient Roman would typically receive one aureus for one month of labor It was the norm in Ancient Rome to take home 12-15 gold coins per year One gold aureus has about $425 worth of gold content as of December 13th 2021 To put it in perspective the average American could buy 72 gold aureii in one year assuming that the median income for a worker in the United States is $31000 This puts into perspective just how wealthy the average modern person is in comparison to the average ancient person In fact we are very far from our peak wealth Ford assembly line workers would make 5 dollars a day back in 1914 A Ford assembly line worker earning 5 dollars a day in 1914 would be the equivalent of an Ancient Roman earning nearly 300 gold aureii in a single year
