<p>[QUOTE="Mikjo0, post: 115507, member: 3565"]Well they say a denarius,which is roughly equivalent to a drachm would buy 8 loaves of bread and a pint or two of wine.Multiply that by Tetra=4X and you basically have enough for close to a week.Now consider that your coin is from Greek- Egypt 110-88BC and it might be a bit more in value than in Rome.So if you use your imagination,that Tetradrachm probably purchased 7 days of food,cloth,rent and entertainment.Sound familiar?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
