>>20236327During the late roman republic/early empire(0-100 AD, yes. It's weighting a little bit over 3 grams. Apparently it was worth around $50 back then.
Inflation was starting to ramp up back then, but it still was nothing compared to what they would soon experience in the centuries to come. Their silver was still around .900 pure.
What's pretty sad is even in the last days of the roman Empire when everything was shitting the bed, they were still far, far away from our current inflation where we lose 10% of purchasing power each year. But we too are living the very last days of the (((Empire))). In a way it's a chance to witness something who happen every once in a while, and here we are talking about the most powerful empire ever. Make me feel melancholic.
