<p>[QUOTE="Aleph, post: 5480988, member: 89969"]It does seem that small change was used in the late republic and early empire but the use of the smallest denominations waned. As far as I am aware, of all the prices for goods found in Pompeii, none show prices less than an as although I don’t remember if any show fractions of an as like 2.5 as. It is also clear from the proportion of quadrantes found relative to ases, there was no where near enough supply in the Flavian era on to function as change. Evidence for usage and function in this period is scarce, though. van Heesch has written on this in a number of articles. Here is a good review:</p><p><a href="https://www.academia.edu/951078/Providing_Markets_with_Small_Change_in_the_Early_Roman_Empire_Italy_and_Gaul_in_Revue_belge_de_Numismatique_155_2009_p_125_142" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.academia.edu/951078/Providing_Markets_with_Small_Change_in_the_Early_Roman_Empire_Italy_and_Gaul_in_Revue_belge_de_Numismatique_155_2009_p_125_142" rel="nofollow">https://www.academia.edu/951078/Providing_Markets_with_Small_Change_in_the_Early_Roman_Empire_Italy_and_Gaul_in_Revue_belge_de_Numismatique_155_2009_p_125_142</a>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
