Denarius - Latin

Japanese: デナリウス貨 - でなりうすか(英語表記)denarius ラテン語
Denarius - Latin
A Roman silver coin. It began to be issued around the time of the Punic Wars at the end of the 3rd century BC. It originally weighed 1/72 of a pound (about 4.55 g) and was worth 10 bronze ases. Over the course of the Republic, the denarius gradually lost weight, eventually weighing just 3.89 g. By this time, the ases had become worth only half their original value, so that by the time of the Gracchi brothers, the denarius was considered to be equal to 16 ases. The value of the coins continued to decrease, but the exchange rate between the two remained unchanged.

Japanese:
古代ローマの銀貨。前3世紀末のポエニ戦争の頃に発行され始めた。当初1/72ポンド(約4.55g)の重量があり,10枚の青銅貨アスasの価値を有した。やがて共和政期を通じてデナリウス貨は徐々に重量を減らし,ついには3.89gまでになった。この頃までにアス貨も本来の半分の価値しかもたなくなっていたので,グラックス兄弟の時代にはデナリウス貨は16枚のアス貨と同等と見なされた。その後も鋳貨の価値減少が続いたが,両者の交換比率に変化は見られなかった。
