The economy of ancient Rome was a bustling one and in this documentary we look at the evolution and system of Roman coinage, their denominations and relative value, but most of all what was depicted on them. With an obverse and reverse side, a coin offered the possibility for two different images. These images were used to spread different types of messages to all citizens of the Roman empire, especially with the coming of the Principate. As an example we take a close look at a famous coin of emperor Vespasian, one the most celebrated generals in the Roman army and later emperor.
