Respecting the sense in which sums of ancient money are said to be equivalent to certain sums of our money, see NuMaus, p. 815, a.' The Drachmina was very nearly equal to the French Franc. Or, approximately, 2501., the difference being only 1-40th.
Ii. Aeginetan and Euboic Silver. - The coins of these systems can be easily calculated from the Attic, according to the ratios given in Table X I. No. I..
As thus calculated, the Aeginetan Talent was equal to 4061. 5s., and the Euboic was equal to 3q81. 10s. 10d., and the Drachmae were equal respectively to
Is. 4~d. for the Aeginetan, and Is. 1-d. + 1 of a farthing for the Euboic. Respecting the values of the coins actually found, see NuaiNus.
III. Grecian Gold. - The values of the Grecian gold money cannot be conveniently reduced to the tabular form; they will be found in the articles STATE.R
amd DAREICKS.
