<p>[QUOTE=&quot;curtislclay, post: 4909204, member: 89514&quot;]I&#039;ve been capitalizing As for decades, so already in my first article on the new Nilus As of Septimius Severus in Num. Chron. 1970; don&#039;t remember for sure whether copying the convention from somebody else (likely) or introducing it on my own.</p><p><br /></p><p>One could also italicize <i>as</i> and the other denominations (denarius, sestertius, etc.) to indicate that they are foreign words, so also distinguishing the denomination <i>as</i> from the ordinary English adverb and conjunction &#039;as&#039;. But I think most of us now consider these denominations to be ordinary English words, so not in need of italicizing.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
