<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Plumbata, post: 3547227, member: 96864&quot;]Early RR silver is not a bad focus to have! Those sets really are charming, and denomination runs in general are quite appealing to me. I understand that it was 10 asses/denarius then, but was wondering if you knew the base unit of accounting in the late 3rd century BC, i.e. &quot;Frontinus records a yearly income of 250,000 sesterces from the sale of aqueduct water.&quot; It&#039;s not an important question but from my position of ignorance the inclination to denominate the coins in asses suggests they may have been the base unit of bookkeeping/accounting.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
