Imagine how it was used in commerce, passing through the hands of shop-keepers, slaves, soldiers, gladiators, prostitutes, aristocrats and priests. It bought things like wine, olive-oil, bread, sandals, a good time at a brothel, admission to the colosseum, fish, cloth and offerings to pagan gods in temples.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]663182[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
