[QUOTE="Andres2, post: 2945792, member: 79017"]Well, they are not expensive Rob, whats holding you back ? Though the one from Backtoithaca is an expensive one, first serie (Aes Grave) of Roman Republic bronze coins, 290-240 BC , I'll guess that one weighs a hefty 150 grams. Here are a couple of later ones, as rrdenarius mentions, the RR bronzes became smaller and lighter over time. [ATTACH=full]718344[/ATTACH] Because the RR silver denarius held his weight at approx 3 gram , the exchange between the As and the denarius went from 10 : 1 to 16 : 1 and 20 : 1 ( copper to silver ratio 100 : 1 ) [ATTACH=full]718345[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]
