<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Gao, post: 1554287, member: 19409&quot;]Luckily, I have a copy of Harl handy.&nbsp; This refers to the prices of grain in Egypt, based on the unit of a modius (around 2 gallons) of wheat.&nbsp; &quot;Nummus&quot; just means coin, but is used to reference the standard billon coin that your type would fall under:</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Harl goes on to say that it&#039;s really hard to determine the prices of things in terms of billon denominations in the 4th century (though one could try to work back by converting the wholesale prices, which were usually in terms of gold, but that&#039;s not really going to tell you what your average guy on the street would pay for anything), so that&#039;s probably as clear an answer as your going to get without diving into some rather obscure sources.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
