Yes, Roman money was measured in "asses," which were bronze coins used in ancient Rome. The term "as" refers to the singular form of the coin, and it was one of the foundational units of currency in the Roman monetary system. Over time, the as was replaced by more valuable coins, but it remained a significant reference point for measuring wealth and trade throughout the Roman Empire.


Is rome silver coin republic?

The Roman silver coins were not Republic. In the Late Republic Rome had two gold coins (the denarius and quinarius), two silver coins (the denarius and sestertius), five bronze coins (the as, semis, triens, quadrans, quincux and uncia) and a brass coin, the dupondius. The first Roman Emperor, Augustus, scrapped the the triens, quincux and uncia. He turned the sestertius and dupondius into coins made of orichalcum (a golden coloured copper-alloy) and the as into a pure copper coin. The semis was produced infrequently and was no longer issued by the time of Hadrian. The quadrans was also produced sporadically and only up to the time of Antoninus Pius. Augustus also introduced a new gold coin, the Aureus. The monetary system introduced by Augustus was replaced by a new system introduced by the emperor Diocletian (reigned 284-305 AD).
