<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Roman Collector, post: 2509905, member: 75937&quot;]That is a denarius of the Roman Empress, Faustina Senior, the wife of Antoninus Pius, one of the so-called &quot;five good emperors.&quot; She was the mother of Faustina Junior, who married Marcus Aurelius, the stoic philosopher who later became emperor of Rome. Faustina Junior and Marcus Aurelius were the parents of Commodus, the emperor depicted in the movie, Gladiator. </p><p><br /></p><p>A denarius was the standard silver coin used in the Roman empire and was worth about an entire day&#039;s wages, the amount which was the subject of Jesus&#039; parable of the workers in the vineyard, Matthew 20:1-16.</p><p><br /></p><p>Isn&#039;t that interesting? Pique your curiosity? Are you sure you don&#039;t want to come over to the dark side?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
