The first empire known to use coins was the Lydian Empire, which existed in western Anatolia (modern-day Turkey) around the 7th century BCE. The Lydians, under King Alyattes and later his son Croesus, minted the first standardized gold and silver coins, which facilitated trade and economic transactions. This innovation spread to other cultures and empires, transforming the way commerce was conducted in the ancient world.

The Roman coins acted as the common currency throughout the empire, which made commercial exchanges in the various part of the empire easier. In a way, Roman money acted a bit like the Euro acting as a common currency for many European countries.
No one established a standard currency for the Roman Empire. The Roman coins evolved as a standard currency as the Roman Empire expanded. The conquered territories were annexed to the empire, became Roman provinces and the Roman coins became their currency as a result of the annexation. The Roman coins also became useful as a standard currency as thriving trading neworks developed around the empire
