[QUOTE="Gam3rBlake, post: 7755909, member: 115909"]Who exactly were the Romans paying that necessitated debasing the coinage during the Second Punic War? You said: “[B]Rome was SCRAMBLING for hard currency.” [/B] But what did they need the money for? At first I assumed to pay soldiers but then I realized Romans in those days would’ve fought even without pay if Rome itself were in threat of annihilation.[/QUOTE]
