I couldn't resist some math after reading about the lost Roman Aurei.

At $400 per ounce, a Roman Aurei is $288.16

$288.16 for a months pay for a Roman Legionnaire, today ?

$1.44 for one pound of flour, compare with $0.50 today

$0.72 for one liter of cheap wine

$100 for one acre of Woodland in Kent

$2,305 for one slave boy
