<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Fugio1, post: 3549167, member: 89970&quot;]That&#039;s a good question to which I must admit I do not know the answer (but should research).&nbsp;&nbsp; I would speculate that the unit of reckoning in the early RR was the As, as it is the most common &quot;Roman&quot; denomination from the earliest cast coinage through the origin of the denarius.&nbsp; These small silver sestertii were the first emergence of the 1/4 denarius, and they were minted for perhaps a couple of years before being practically abandoned by the Romans for Coinage (some later sestertii issues are known but they are extremely obscure).&nbsp;&nbsp; Perhaps one of our more knowledgeable members can confirm this.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
