The early Republic did not use coins but rather a system of bronze weights, the aes rude. These units were quite large as one unit was the equivalent of 324 g. or 11 1/2 oz. in weight. Despite their heaviness, this type continued to be produced up to c. 218 BCE. As the Romans expanded over central Italy war booty meant coins could be produced using...
The imagery on coins took a turn towards propaganda when Julius Caesar used his own profile on his coins, an opportunity not missed by Brutus who similarly used his own image on one side of his coins and on the other side two daggers symbolising his role in the assassination of Caesar. Augustus, naturally, followed suit but he also reformed the den...
Coins were continuously minted as taxation only met 80% of the imperial budget and the shortfall was met by putting more coins into circulation, the source coming from freshly mined metal. This also meant that extravagant emperors could get themselves into serious financial trouble. One solution was to reduce the weight and or the metal content of ...
Images were made on coins by striking the coin by hand onto a pre-cut die placed below (obverse) and above (reverse) the blank coin. In the Republic, control of state coinage was in the hands of three junior magistrates (later to be four), the tresviri aere argento auro flando feriundo or a.a.a.f.f.

They also depict lost or ruined monuments and help to establish both the precise chronology of Rome and the date of other artefacts that might accompany them in archaeological finds. Coins of certain date can also help to date other less certain...

Roman currency for most of Roman history consisted of gold, silver, bronze, orichalcum and copper coinage. [1] From its introduction during the Republic , in the third century BC, through Imperial times, Roman currency saw many changes in form, denomination, and composition.
May 26, 2024 · From the crude bronze lumps of its origins to the resplendent gold of its imperial zenith, the story of Roman coinage is a microcosm of the rise, triumph, and fall of an empire that shaped the course of human history.
The ‘imperial coinage’ was produced mostly at Rome, and consisted of gold, silver and bronze coinage. The gold aurei and silver denarii from Rome circulated throughout most of the empire, and the bronze is found all over the western half of the empire, but not much in the eastern part.
Roman currency evolved over time, from the aes rude to silver denarius and gold coins like the aureus and solidus. Coins featured iconic imagery conveying political power, religious authority, portraits of emperors & families as well as mythological figures & divine associations.
