I love that there were Roman coins called asses

a sestercus, the basic unit of account, was worth 2.5 asses. truly a rich society

this textbook said sesterces were worth 4 asses. I wonder

the price of asses gradually decreased as rome swole with the plunder of the ancient world. natural result of too many asses
