How much money does a medieval fuller get paid?

Oh, dude, you're asking about medieval salaries now? Well, a fuller in the Middle Ages probably made around 2-4 shillings a day, but like, that was a long time ago, so I don't think they were buying designer armor or anything with that kind of cash. Medieval times, man, they didn't have Venmo or direct deposit, so it was probably a lot of coins jingling around in those tunics.


What did ancient Romans use for money?

Coins, just like today.Salt was also used, as Rome's major highway was called the Via Salaria (Salt Road): along that road, Roman soldiers transported salt crystals from the salt flats at Ostia up the Tiber river. In return, they received a salarium or salary, which was literally money paid to soldiers to buy salt. The old saying "worth their/its salt" (to be valuable) derives from this custom of payment during the Roman Empire.

How much money do you have to get before the money goes green on runescape?

Money never goes green on RuneScape. The gold coins are, in fact, the only currency and never change color. In our modern world we have coins that add up to green bills---in medieval times, there were no such paper bills. Money was always gold---literally. As RS was set in medieval times, the same is true for it.
