<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Marsden, post: 1441427, member: 38010&quot;]Your points are good, and I guess I was thinking of Rome the city while you mean the entire Roman Empire, which is doubtless appropriate since I&#039;m sure these coins circulated widely.&nbsp; You sometimes read of major transactions being carried out with trunks of sesterces etc.&nbsp; I don&#039;t even know when notes started&nbsp; being used unless it was with the medieval goldsmiths.&nbsp; And that started the real manipulation of money!&nbsp; Well, actually I guess the debasement right above constitutes manipulation too.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
