<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Justin Lee, post: 4861328, member: 87404&quot;]Not stupid questions at all... We&#039;ve all been a beginner, some more recent than others (3 1/2 years in myself). A couple years ago I was working through the same thing and doing research on the subject of denominations, values, and their evolution and I did what I do professionally but for my hobby -- I designed two infographics for others like yourself to help you grasp what I had been learning (it helped me solidify the I go in my brain too <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie85" alt=":smuggrin:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />).</p><p><br /></p><p>This first one deals with denominations, and their value in relation to eachother, of Roman Imperial coinage from Augustus to, say, Gallienus or Aurelian or so.</p><p><img src="https://iomegacollectionhome.files.wordpress.com/2019/05/early-roman-imperial-denominations-2-1.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>This next one is more of a timeline of these (and other) denominations throughout the Empire, and though there is some nuance that isn&#039;t captured that I didn&#039;t know about at the time (like how though denominations existed of the same name during Republican and Imperial times, the coins themselves were drastically different like the As, Sestertius, Semis), it&#039;s still a solid base of info.</p><p><img src="https://iomegacollectionhome.files.wordpress.com/2019/05/evolution-roman-imperial-denominations-3.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>Edit: it also makes you think when seeing the emperors placed on a timeline, cuz Aurelian and Caracalla are closer in years than Caracalla and Antoninus Pius... It didn&#039;t feel like that in my mind when you just look at the years and know how many emperors passed thru between Caracalla and Aurelian rather than the later. Maybe that&#039;d be the topic of my next timeline infographics lol an emperor Gantt chart...[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
