<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Gao, post: 1221866, member: 19409&quot;]Yeah, sorry, that was the annual wage.&nbsp; And it&#039;s really hard to just straight up convert value to a modern currency, since many things, like clothes, were far more expensive back then than today.&nbsp; We don&#039;t have too many prices from this particular period, but for an idea of relative values of things like these were, you might want to check out <a href="http://www.forumancientcoins.com/numiswiki/view.asp?key=Edict of Diocletian Edict on Prices" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.forumancientcoins.com/numiswiki/view.asp?key=Edict of Diocletian Edict on Prices" rel="nofollow">The Edict of Maximum Prices</a>.&nbsp; Its from 301 AD, after centuries of inflation wore away the value of the denarius to the point where it was now just a base unit of a ghost currency, but it might give you an idea of how much someone in certain jobs could buy. This is a collection of government mandated price ceilings, not prices taken from the market, so don&#039;t put too much stock into the exact prices.&nbsp; Treat it as a rather rough guide, particularly since it&#039;s 400 years removed from your coin.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
