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

The original symbol for the denarius was an X because it was worth ten asses, so they used the Roman numeral for ten. (The as was a small bronze coin) However around 150 BC the denarius was revalued and was worth 16 asses. The symbol for these more valuable coins was an X with a bar through the center which divided the x into a small v, the Roman numeral for five. The bar itself counted for the numeral 1. X = 10, V = 5, bar = 1, total 16. Value 16 asses.

How much was 1000 dollars worth in Ancient Rome?
Your question cannot be answered completely because ancient Rome had no coin comparable to our dollar. Remember too, that the Roman coins were of pure metals. For example a denarius had 3 grams of pure silver and would be worth about $300 dollars today. This was one day's pay for an unskilled worker and it certainly was not valued as we would value it today. Using the denarius as a marker, a thousand dollars would be worth 3 denarii and 5 1/2 asses, or thereabouts depending on the price of silver at present. But remember, this is in present day values, the ancients had much lower values for their coins.
