5. ROMAN MONEY: COINS
The ancient Romans thought the use of
coins was really clever. They did what they
always did when they found something clever -
they copied it. At first, the Romans put pictures
of gods and goddesses on their coins, an idea
they borrowed from the ancient Greeks. Pretty
soon, they began to put pictures of buildings
on their coins. They were the first to add
symbols like stars and eagles on their coins.
Some of their coins pictured current emperors.
These coins were supposed to help make an
emperor popular.
There were crooks who chipped away at
the edges of coins to get extra metal. If you
were caught "chipping" coins in ancient times,
the punishment was usually death. In spite of
the risks, one gang who lived in ancient
England distributed over 1600 fake coins to
the Roman legionnaries who invaded their
country!
