<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Aethelred, post: 2585146, member: 81808&quot;]Great post Dorney, as I&#039;m coming to expect from you. May I ask a question since it is obvious you have given more thought to this than I have. I have read a bit of Classical writings, my focus is on the First Century (but not confined to it), so most of the little bit I know will reflect that era. </p><p><br /></p><p>Off the top of my head, but I can recall references to Denarii, Sestertii along with the As and Quadrans in First to early Second Century writings ranging from Suetonius to The Bible. I cannot recall having read about the Dupondius (I&#039;m sure someone will be along to correct this shortly). We seem to know what coins were called and how they related to one another for this era with a very high degree of certainty.</p><p><br /></p><p>So, in later writings (Third-Fourth Century) how is money treated? It has to come up and from some of the modern histories of the later Empire it sounds like we know something about the reforms of Diocletian and Constantine, if not so much that of Aurelian and to know that there must be a primary source, so what did they call the coins?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
