Tiberius denarius tribute penny worth?

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


What was the symbol for a denarius?

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.
