The Romans did not have general name for their currency. They used the names of their coins. The coins made of different metals. They changed over time as there were reforms of the Roman currency.
The coins of the Roman Republic were the denarius(silver), the sestertius (silver), the dupondius(brass), the as ( bronze) the triens (bronze) the quadrans (bronze) the quincunx (bronze) and the uncia (bronze).
The emperor Augustus reformed the monetary system in 27 BC. He introduced two gold coins, the aureus and the quinarius Aureus and a new silver coin, the Quinarius argenteus. He retained some of the republican coins: denarius, the sestertius, the dupondius, the as, the semis and the quadrans.
Emperor Diocletian reformed the monetary system in 301 AD. He retained the argenteus and the denarius and introduced the solidus (gold), the nummus (copper) the radiate (20 parts bronze and 1 part silver) and the laureate.
The coins in the late Empire were the solidus, the miliarense (silver) the siliqua (silver) the follis (bronze) and the nummus (copper).
