<p>[QUOTE=&quot;cmezner, post: 3309784, member: 87809&quot;]Although I found this at wikipedia: <a href="https://www.wikiwand.com/en/Denarius" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.wikiwand.com/en/Denarius" rel="nofollow">https://www.wikiwand.com/en/Denarius</a> </p><p>but it doesn&#039;t help much to say the %:</p><p>&quot;The denarius began to undergo slow debasement toward the end of the republican period. Under the rule of Augustus (31 BC-AD 14) its silver content fell to 3.9 grams (a theoretical weight of 1⁄84 of a Roman pound). It remained at nearly this weight until the time of Nero (AD 37–68), when it was reduced to 1⁄96 of a pound, or 3.4 grams.&quot;[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
