Of the Coines and Moneyes of the ancient Romans: and first of the Brasse Money.

AS (as Varro saith) is as much as Aes, that is, brasse: For Aeri∣us was a coine weighing a pound weight: but after many changes that happened in the Roman State, it came to be worth the tenth part of a Romane pennie, which with vs is worth ob. q.

Semissis, is as much as halfe an As: according to Varro, and was worth q.c.

Triens, that is, the third part of an As, which was halfe a far∣thing.

Quadrans, was the fourth part of as As. Plinie calls it Triuncis; Cicero, Triunus, because ir was a diminution of the former pound containing three ounces; and with vs worth three mites.

Sextans, that is, the sixt part of an Assis, which was worth q. or two mites.

Vncia, the twelfth part of an Assis, worth one might c.

Semiuncia, worth halfe a mite.

Sextula, that is, the sixth part of an ounce, worth the sixth part of a mite. These are the ancient brasse moneys vsuall amongst the Romans; but there were greater vsed in later times, according to the opinion of Varro.
