<p>[QUOTE=&quot;johnmilton, post: 25630289, member: 101855&quot;]My collection is mostly silver and coins that used to be silver. I was surprised that learn that the sestertus was the coin of account for valuing things. For example when one of the short lived emperors before Septimius Severus won the purple in an auction. His winning bid, which he didn’t have the ability to pay, was in sesterti, not denari or gold pieces. </p><p><br /></p><p>Roman coins weren’t just for use as money. They were also political and public relations pieces. The emperors issues coins that honored their wives and children. Get to know and love the family! Support me![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
