[QUOTE="Clinker, post: 458153, member: 6229"]:loud:[SIZE=4] One of the greatest influences on coinage in the world was the numismatics of Rome! About 211 B.C. during the Second Punic War, the Roman Republic struck its first[B][I] Denarius [/I][/B][I][/I]fixing its value at 1/72 of a Roman [B][I]Pound[/I][/B][I][/I]. Both these denominations ([B][I]Denarius[/I][/B][I][/I] and [B][I]Pound[/I][/B][I][/I]) influenced the coinage of most European countries, and other countries around the globe, but none as much as England. The earliest Roman [B][I]Denarius[/I][/B][I][/I] photo I could find is this 145 B.C.
