<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Sallent, post: 2729788, member: 76194&quot;]It is very difficult to tell how far 60 drachms would get you in antiquity. For once, there were few things to spend money on...basically food (provided you weren&#039;t farming your own land), rent, clothes or materials for clothes, barbers, and that&#039;s about it. Other things like household goods (vases, cups, knives, statues of household gods, etc) were not disposable like a lot those things are today, so you would probably pay the expense once and use them for the rest of your life. And even things like clothing, which was expensive, tended to get used for a long time. The average person would probably wear a tunic until it started to fall apart. Aristocrats might have been fashion conscious, but not the masses whom couldn&#039;t afford that luxury.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
