Roman monetary system

Vitrina 149
The three-metal system (gold, silver and bronze) was the basis of Roman monetary systems. The weight of coins, names and types used gradually changed. The Republican and late-Empire monetary system had a long life but, from the third century onwards, economic stability decreased affecting coin weight and value.
