[QUOTE="Juan Blanco, post: 1570835, member: 41665"]With all due respect, 'sometimes' not generally. [url]http://www.stanford.edu/~scheidel/NumTable.pdf[/url] The Epigram and BoR 6:6 indicates correctly, here: [I]Asses [/I]and [I]Denarius[/I]. The nutritional value of Wheat being constant, no different after two thousand years, the k/Cal of a certain measure valued in Silver (salary) is fairly easy to estimate. The ratio may fluctuate, that's certainly what's interesting here, and [I]when exactly 'PMs are most dear/despised' [/I](relatively speaking) should be of the greatest interest to bullionists.
