According to today's price of silver (less than 50 cents per gram) a silver denarius weighing 3.5 grams would be worth $1.75 as a precious metal value. The coin was supposed to represent a day's wage for a common laborer or soldier. The low income level for workers in the US would be $12000 per year or about $250 per week. This would make a days wage about $50. The value of such a day's wage would vary considerably from country to country. In many third world countries, the actual silver value might be an accurate description of a day's wage. In some areas, a dollar a day might be more than normal. John
In the movie "Clash of Titans", this is Perseus and the fact that mortals no longer believe or respect in the gods.
In her own time, Cleopatra was not really famous as she was a minor queen of a crumbling dynasty. She needed the help of Rome to even co-rule the country with her brother. However, because of her relationship with Marc Antony, Octavian was able to use her as a tool to stir up the Roman people to enable him to wage a war against her (which in reality was a war against Antony). She became famous in the ancient world because she committed suicide and that redeemed her. In our time, she grew famous because of the myths and misconceptions about her perpetrated by fiction writers such as Shakespeare.
Cleopatra was not so much important to Rome as she was to Octavian. She was the tool that Octavian was able to use against Antony and to wage the war against him. By accusing Cleopatra of corrupting Antony, Octavian was able to get the senate to declare war against her. In reality this war was against Antony for sole rule, but Octavian had to avoid all semblance of a civil war and Cleopatra and her conduct with Antony was the perfect opportunity for him.
Oh yes. A whole new way to wage war. An entire new training method. The Aspis, a large, round bronze shield. The Xiphos, a short, leaf-shaped thrusting sword. The Doru, A long spear with a buttspike.

10 percent of a worker's daily wage is 0.10 times the daily wage.For example, if someone makes $40 a day, $40 x 0.10 is $4.00.If the daily wage is $37.50 a day, it is $37.50 x 0.10 or $3.75.

There was no minimum wage in 1910.
No. Minimum wage is just what it says, the minimum. They can control how much you make by limiting the number of hours you work, but they have to pay minimum wage.
At least the minimum wage; maybe better.
