<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Sulla80, post: 4576329, member: 99456&quot;]I don&#039;t have a good answer for you, other than my read from <a href="https://www.amazon.com/Coinage-Economy-Ancient-Society-History/dp/0801852919" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.amazon.com/Coinage-Economy-Ancient-Society-History/dp/0801852919" rel="nofollow">Harl</a> that Cappadocia Attic standard drachm&#039;s were equivalent to a denarius.&nbsp; Therefore the drachm was overvalued based on silver content.&nbsp; Otherwise, I can only add to the list of questions e.g. did Rome collect fees in denarii (higher silver) and issue local currency as drachms (overvalued based on lower silver content)?&nbsp; How much exchanging of currency was there and why?&nbsp; Were soldiers paid in local currency or denarii?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
