<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Whizb4ng, post: 2969315, member: 54140&quot;]For Late Romans I always walk them through the basic math. I start with during the period of Constantine there were ~15 mints running (I use 15 just because the math is a bit easier) and each mint had ~5 officina (again I am not THAT good at math so I make it easy on myself). Say each officina is 1 dude and that dude makes 100 coins a day. That is 500 coins per day per mint and 7500 across the empire. Times that by 365 and that is a lot of coins. </p><p><br /></p><p>This usually gets the point across that the Empire was producing an incredible amount of coins and that they may be more common than they had thought previously.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
