	RCC/Roman Coin Denominations
		By 211 B.C. Roman coin denominations had underwent significant transitions and new silver denominations such as the denarius (10 asses), the quinarius (5 asses), and the sestertius (quarter denarius) were issued.
		Obeying Gresham's Law, "the bad money chased out the good" and these new coins, antoniniani (aside: we do not know the actual name of the denomination as it is lost to his-tory, antonmianus is one of Caracalla's names) chased denarii, dupondii, sestertii and asses out of circulation by the middle of the 3rd century.
		However, once you grasp the relationships between coins and recall the truism "a soldier's pay was a denarii a day," you can begin to imagine which coins circulated for what purposes.
