Dear Yogi: Regarding cars costing more. I am not so sure that is correct. When I bought a car in the 1960's (especially in the 1st half) I seem to recall it cost me about a whole years TAKE HOME salary. I was a young CPA in those days. Not paid the highest but not so bad either. Now, as a percentage of income, and I am now retired, it is much less. But hey, In some ways, I still live in the 50's. haha. JDN

Do you know how much a Roman chariot would be in inflation adjusted lira?
