The Roman Empire saw centuries of very active economic activity and enormous prosperity. As a very monetized society, it needed many different denominations to facilitate trade between its millions of citizens.
Today, we will explore the Monetary Reform of Augustus, going from the most humble of copper coins all the way to the gold pieces, know their relative values between one another, and see a real-life situation on how to give change on ancient Pompeii, lets go!

For those curious, here is a list of the number of each denomination that add up to a Denarius: 1 Denarius = 2 Quinarii 4 Sestersii 8 Dupondii 16 As 32 Semii 64 Quadrans Double these numbers for 1 Antoninianus 25x these numbers for 1 Aureus Interesting note! If 1 Denarius was a day's wages. And let's say that was for 8 hours of work (probably they worked more, but for easy math), and lunch was 1 As, then that means that lunch was one half-hour's worth of wages. Though probably more likely between one half-hour-wage or one one-hour-wage. And that's just assuming most people made 1 denarius per day, and not just the military. So ask yourself: How much work does it cost you to buy lunch? Do you get paid better than Romans? Edit: Let's say a lunch of similar quality would be $10-15 USD in America

@5:05 Back in the early 2000s I was purchasing "uncleaned Roman coins" that I'd purchased on eBay, and I remember finding a brassy yellow coin... Now AT LAST I understand more about this mystery coin! I remember that my research found that it had been minted in northern Asia Minor, but don't remember any other details. It was rather pitted, but it was generally legible. I must find where I stashed that coin away!! Thanks!!!

I'm just getting into ancient coins and found this very helpful indeed as I am now, as a pensioner, just starting to invest in some uncleaned items as a hobby for the surprise of seeing what they turn out to be. Ever since I visited Pompeii as a child with my parents in the 1950's, which had a profound effect on me, I have been fascinated with ancient history, especially Roman. As an aside, now being an ancient myself, I was taught Latin (and sadly, less Greek) as a matter of course back then and was fairly fluent, so I must compliment you on your excellent pronunciation of classical Latin.
@ClassicalNumismatics

That Augustus denarius is so beautiful! It’s truly a museum worthy piece. In 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 rare. It’s definitely an overweight denarius. Oh and an expensive one! I could see that selling for $5,000 easily. I’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 nothing. Don’t even get me started on trying to find a reasonably priced denarius of Caligula.

Thank you so much. I can not get enough of your beautiful pronunciations. If this truly is what Latin sounded like, then it is one of the most beautiful languages ever conceived. You now have a dedicated subscriber. All things Rome, from the republic to the empire, have me hooked in such a way that it is one of the most joyful topics in my life. Also, I have some theories about events in Roman history, especially about the emperor Caligula. Would love to hear your thoughts on him, for as much horror as he caused, I think he maybe one of history's greatest victims. Love to talk with you about this. Also extremely fond of Hadrianus and Trajan, two of my favorite emperors. Cannot get enough of them, either. Our civilization owes Greece and then Rome ( who had the good sense to borrow liberally from them). We would be nothing without them, what I believe is history's greatest ancient civilization, and what they gave us!!!!!!

I simply can not get enough of this civilization. I know it also may sound corny, but I have fallen in love with the Starz TV series, Spartacus, which has only added to my fascination. I know there are embellishments and inaccuracies, but so much of it seems real, and history comes leaping thru my TV when I binge watch this show. Long live Capua and Sinuessa en Valle ( does not exist now) but in the day, on or near the Via Appia, as was Capua. I keep my computer and phone by my side every time I watch to check on historical facts. Roman coins and sayings related to money come up often....such as "I pay with the only coin I have." It cost Marcus Crassus 10,000 denari to fully equip each soldier to fight Spartacus. How true was this? And where in God's name did wealthy people of Rome keep all that money? Obviously, they developed the uses of credit, and I think even paper notes, right??,

@ClassicalNumismatics
@ClassicalNumismatics 3 года назад
Yes they did maintain their own denominations! There were moneychangers, of course, and maybe you could get a denarius accepted on the east, but in general, the Romans just let the Greek part of the empire keep their own denominations and monetary standards, with some small adaptations to facilitate conversions. Indeed, a Drachm would probably have the equivalent purchasing power of a Denarius

@ClassicalNumismatics
@ClassicalNumismatics 7 месяцев назад
"Bronze" is more of an umbrella term used for base-metal pieces. Most of these coins had a fiduciary value, so the metal value wasnt very important, and the alloy changed as the years passed. But as for the original standard established by Augustus, its either pure copper or brass, as you mentioned.

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?
@BilgemasterBill
@BilgemasterBill Год назад
I suspect the "Germanicus" title held a bit of lustre from both aspects you describe. It was both an esteemed traditional title with its nod to a glorious past all the way back to the times of Augustus, combined increasingly with a sober nod to the later realities of dealing with the ever more troublesome Germans long after the Julio-Claudians had exited the stage. Any emperor who'd ordered so much as a border skirmish with a German tribe would generally be eager to tack a "Germanicus" honorific to his regnal titles.

Back when the dollar was pegged to gold, a coin with a weight like that of the aureus would roughly value at $8.75 So a roman manual laborer's monthly salary would be around $8.75 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.
@ClassicalNumismatics
@ClassicalNumismatics 10 месяцев назад
This is a tricky comparison. Lets remember that between the Roman period and the early US, many events changed the gold/silver ratio of nations, and the overall supply of these metals available. Think about the new mines opened on the late middle ages in Germany, that generated a big influx of silver to Europe. Then we discovered the Americas, and an absolute deluge of precious metals flooded the market. We go a bit further into the early modern period and early mechanized mining started to increase mining yelds a lot. On the other hand, the massive population difference between these periods means that extra mass of people represented a deflationary force,, as more gold and silver had to go around for more people. The variables are completely different, its very hard to come up with conclusions that wont hit up some kind of false premisse or falacy.

The average person back then had a tiny fraction of the access to consumer goods we have today. Even the richest person during that time had almost nothing to buy compared to today. Our needs became tied to the amount available choices

@@THESPATHARIOS… no. Not at all. Because the average historical person spent almost the entirety of their income on food alone. So the scaling of income/ value you’re trying to do is completely incomparable, because the relative value of the things that are necessary for life have become so different

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!

Competition is always a factor. When we decry the ambition of others we say they are greedy. When we justify our own desire we say it is just surviving. We are and have been about the same. We want things the others want too. @@dguy0386
