	Roman abacus - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		It is most likely that the rightmost slot or slots were used to enumerate fractions of an uncia and these were from top to bottom, 1/2 s, 1/4 s and 1/12 s of an uncia.
		The upper character in this slot (or the top slot where the righmost column is three separate slots) is the character most closely resembling that used to denote a Semuncia or 1/24.
		The name Semuncia denotes 1/2 of an uncia or 1/24 of the base unit, the As.

	Perspectives in Numismatics - Eight Hundred Years of Roman Coinage
		But during the period of the cast aes grave coinage, extending down to about 212 B.C., no such development took place and the pieces are all anonymous.
		The initial issue of aes grave coins from the mint of Rome comprised a series of seven denominations, ranging from the basic unit of the as, weighing about 322 grams, to its twentyfourth, the semuncia.
		A youthful Janiform head, perhaps representing the Dioscuri, appears on the obverse of the earliest as, whilst the reverse shows Mercury wearing his winged petasus.

	Introduction to Numismatic Terms and Methods
		Many coin denominations derive their names from weights, e.g.
		Greek drachma = 1/6000 talent; in the Roman system as = pound, uncia = ounce; semuncia = half-ounce, semis = half pound, sextans = 1/6 pound or two ounces, and so on.
		The "mark or marks upon it," which certify a coin, are categorized in different ways, and in many cases using terms that are familiar in themselves but have different meanings for numismatists.
