*Estimate is based on 2005 estimates of the Roman DenariustoUSD. One Talent is estimated to be worth 600 Denarii. ADenariushas been estimated to be $21 USD as of 2005. All monetaryestimates(with the exception of the Deric, which I was forced toestimatebased on its gold content) are based against the RomanDenarius. Inother words, if you happen to come across one of thesecoins, it isprobably worth a whole lot more than what thiscalculator will sayits worth. This calculator shows what pastcurrency may have beenworth in their day if US currency existedback then, not what it isworth today.
