<p>[QUOTE=&quot;kevin McGonigal, post: 3775323, member: 72790&quot;]Thanks for that bit of research. For those who would like to plow through the more relevant portions, try picking up the text at about page 60. What I got out of this is that nobody, including the author, can tell us just what the Tribute Penny was. I also got the impression that the system of weights and measurements in use in the ancient world was so arcane that nobody had a grasp of the various systems in general use except in a more regional way and for a short period of time. I use to think that gladiators in the ancient world had a tough job but I now think the money changers had it infinitely worse, a career nasty, brutish and short. By the way, I sure hope this guy was not canonized for his actuarial skills.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
