[QUOTE="Heliodromus, post: 7858816, member: 120820"]The best argued numbers for coin values following Diocletian's edict on maximum prices are: nummus - 25 DC post-reform radiate - 4 DC post-reform laureate - 2 DC Where DC = denarii communes. These numbers partly come from the bullion values of bronze and silver (the nummus was 5% silver), and partly from recurring multiples of "4" in Diocletian's price edict. There have been many articles discussing Diocletian's coin tarriffs. The most recent that I'm aware of, where these numbers come from, is: "The Value of Money: Coinage and Diocletian’s Price Edict" by Howard Posner.
