The Romans realized that in order to simplify commerce with other Italian and non-Italian states it was necessary to
have a more convenient coinage comprising silver denominations and struck bronzes. Accordingly, they introduced various silver denominations and after the Second Punic War (at the close of the third century B.C.), a new lighter coin called the denarius was brought into being. Showing the Family name first, then the moneyers? name identifies these coins. The type and series of coinage continued until the adoption of the Roman Imperial system beginning with Augustus in
B.C. 27.
A Roman legionary ( foot soldier) received a payment set at a daily allowance of one third of one denarius.
This payment went toward maintenance of his equipment as well as his routine daily expenses.
Conversely, the equities (Calvary who provided their own horses) were entitled to one denarius per day, the extra sum providing for the care of their horses.
Roma, the goddess who personified the city of Rome and the Roman State, was usually helmeted and in armor.
Roma has been seen as a goddess, a near-saint, and as a symbol of civilization itself.
She remains the oldest continuous political-religious symbol in Western civilization.
