I found a list for the coin system (http://www.unrv.com/economy/roman-coin-denominations.php) but what was the generic translation into life, for example how much would a loaf of bread cost? I know it depends on the economy at the time and the where they live. Let's say Rome. When Caesar gives the people money in his will. What is that worth to them? Also what would be the average day wage?
Thanks CanProf, do you have any cite for that?
