During the time of Jesus, a daily wage for a laborer was typically around one denarius, which was considered a standard payment for a day's work. This amount was enough to support a basic living for an individual, but it varied based on the type of work and the region. In some contexts, workers in agriculture or construction might earn slightly more or less depending on demand and the nature of their labor.
In biblical times, a denarius was a day's wage for a laborer. Therefore, 200 denarii would represent approximately 200 days of work, equating to about eight months of earnings. This amount was significant, often enough to support a family for an extended period, highlighting the value of the sum in the context of daily living and economic conditions of the time.
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 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.

In 1980, the minimum wage in Arizona was $3.35 per hour. This amount was consistent with the federal minimum wage at that time, which was also $3.35. Arizona's minimum wage has since increased significantly, reflecting changes in the economy and cost of living.
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.
