<p>[QUOTE=&quot;900fine, post: 1454164, member: 6036&quot;]Hey everyone,</p><p><br /></p><p>I came upon an interesting web page which I thought I would share. Basically,<b> it shows what people earned and what things cost back in Roman times</b>. I felt the numismatic tie-in was strong enough to warrant posting on this board, as it helps us understand what various coins were worth in terms of trade - and more importantly, people&#039;s lives.</p><p><br /></p><p>It&#039;s fascinating, and gives a wonderful insight into Biblical times. For that matter, it helps us understand underdeveloped societies today. Through it all, we see themes of privilege and power, class struggle, market forces, and more.</p><p><br /></p><p>Here is the page :</p><p><br /></p><p><a href="http://www.constantinethegreatcoins.com/edict/" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.constantinethegreatcoins.com/edict/" rel="nofollow">http://www.constantinethegreatcoins.com/edict/</a></p><p><br /></p><p>I am no scholar of ancient Rome, so I make no claim as to the veracity of anything therein. I welcome any and all comments, corrections, or additions. In particular, I would like to hear any insights you may have.</p><p><br /></p><p>Thanks for playing !</p><p><br /></p><p>Ricky B</p><p>900fine[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
