Interesting archaeological find in Turkey

RE: Interesting archaeological find in Turkey
Quote:Wow, 5000 to 12.500 Denars is quite heavy. Back in the olden days I used to know what a Denar could buy and it wasn't that little.

Under Augustus, a centurion of the first rank was paid 15000 denarii per year. One denarius was roughly equivalent in purchasing power to about $30, so yes, that was a pretty stiff fine.
