<p>[QUOTE="kevin McGonigal, post: 4513863, member: 72790"]Did anybody have any quinarii at this time? Well, since a quinarii was a coin of five asses, maybe a pentanummia of five nummia would suffice for our purposes. I notice that your Justin I has that same expressive look on his face that mine does. I find most Byzantine coins to have facial expressions that make you think you are looking at the face of the Divinity. Some of Justin's faces look semi-human. As for the modern Western world still being Roman, I agree that it is, much to the annoyance of some people. Every time we use the languages of the West, we borrow from the Latin language to do it. Even English, which is not a Romance language, has a vocabulary that is about 60% derived from Latin. So, almost every time we open our mouths and speak we carry on the traditions of Rome.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
