And then there is the Aedes Vestae. This brings in the necessity of Thermae, of which both of my thermae are out of commission right now, thus being the Taunton Holiday Inn and the Weymouth Club, and myself not being allowed at the East Bridgewater YMCA. The Easton YMCA does not have a sauna, but has some facilities. visit by the good Emperor Marcus Aurelius to Rome during the summer of 179 AD (932 AUC). v isit by the good emperor Joshua Freeman to Rome during the fall of 1996 AD (2749 AUC) and during the winter of 2010 AD (2762 AUC).

And of the uncia. It means, well, 1 really. The dots system. Multiple mints. 6.06 grams = 32 carob. 16 carob. 8 carob. 64 carob. 96 carob. 104 carob. But this one, 108 or 110 carob. Hmm. Ae Signatum. |

Aes signatum (Latin, "stamped bronze") consisted of cast lumps of bronze of measured quality and weight, embossed with a government stamp, used as currency in Rome and central Italy before the introduction of the aes grave in the mid 4th century BC. When exactly they were first made is uncertain. Popular tradition ascribes them to Servius Tullius, but due to the high quality of art found on even the earliest specimens, this seems very unlikely. A date in the midst of the 5th century BC is generally agreed on. Designs featured are that of a bull, an eagle, and other religious symbols. The earliest aes signatum bars were not cast in Rome proper, but in central Italy, Etruria, Umbria, and Reggio Emilia. They bore the image of a branch with side branches radiating from it, and were called Ramo Secco (dry branch). They did not equate to a set weight standard, varying from about 600 grams to 2500 grams when complete. They were usually broken into subdivisions, and there are very few complete specimens surviving today. The surviving ramo secco bars are usually quarter, half or three quarter bars, or minor smaller pieces which could be classified as aes rudes. The same fragmentation into smaller change applies to later aes signatums issued by the city of Rome, which did correspond to the Roman heavy standard for the AS. They weighed approximately 5 AS when whole. They could technically be termed a quincussis, although they are not marked with any value. The Roman aes signatums conform more strictly to size and weight standards because they are an official issue, where the ramo secco bars were more of a recognizable item of barter exchange that would be weighed, rather than taken at a face value. Ramo seccos were not issued by governing bodies, and could have been made at any foundry facility. |

Is about 25,000 grain = 1 Quincussis. Rome city standard of a heavy AS or of money. The Unit. :).
But, what their metal composition is, have to look this up.
So, if 25,000 grain = 1 AS. This = 25 000 grain = 1619.97275 grams
(1 619.97275 / 500) * 2 640 = 8553.45612 carob
But, I'm more looking at the 500 grams = 1 mna part of ancient sumeria. I do see the trident here, but this is the real thing, the money bronze ingot.
25,000 grain = 1
12,250 grain = 1/2

Issued by governing bodies. When whole about 5 Asses or 5 AS. General deonominations of quarter, half, and three quarters weight. Trident on front. Weight of 1 Ass = 1728 carob or 327 grams. 5*1728 = 8640 carob or 1636 grams
Latin Libra of 272 grams AS = 1/2 ounce or 1/24 of 272 grams. from Numismatic Circular - Volumes 8 - 9
But, according to A dictionary of Greek and Roman antiquities, Volume 1, The switchover from Greek coin system to Roman coin system, seems to happened with Augustus Caesar, with the Dupondii and Sestertii of 20% zinc and 80% copper, with the asses completely copper. I will take a look at this in my next song, Brass and Copper coins. :).

5 roman pounds = 6 latin pounds
8640 carob = 5 roman pounds = 6 latin pounds
8640/2 = 4320c
8640/3 = 2880c
8640/4 = 2160c
8640/5 = 1728c
8640/6 = 1440c
8640/7 = ~1234c
8640/8 = 1080c
8640/9 = 960c
Roma gift cards, which are good for use within the Roman Empire. :). The denomination. Well, 64 carob copper? And what about the pizza party This comes from Hartford. And what is Hartford? Stiver. And what is stiver? 1/20 of a gulden florin fl. The first guilder, a 10.61g .910 silver coin, was minted by the States of Holland and West Friesland in 1680.[3] The original guilder design featured Pallas Athena standing,[citation needed] holding a spear topped by a hat in her right hand, resting with her left forearm on Gospels set on an ornate basis, with a small shield in the legend. This guilder was divided into 20 stuivers, each of 8 duiten or 16 penningen. The guilder gradually replaced other silver coin denominations circulating in the United Netherlands - florijn (28 stuivers), daalder (1½ guilders or 30 stuivers), rijksdaalder (2½ guilders or 50 stuivers), silver ducat (2½ guilders or 50 stuivers) and the silver rider ducaton (3 guilders or 60 stuivers). http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dutch_guilder.
Therefore, 10.61*.91/500*2640 = 50.978928 carob silver.
Say, 0.25 tola seeds = 1 penningen and 0.5 tola seeds = 1 duiten.
Therefore, .25*16 = 4 tola seeds = 1 stuiver, and 1 guilder = 80 tola seeds. But, this 80 is not a full number, such as 100, well it comes to 85 tola seeds at the calculation tho of 10.61*.91/500*2640*5/3
I will look at this equation now. Say, 200 wheat grain silver = 1 guilder, at 500/2640)/4 grams = 1 wheat grain.
