Money

The recognized currency of Axylus, preserved across the continent since the days of the Deliberative comes in the following denominations.  The abbreviations provided should only be used for out of character book keeping, as phonetic letters are not used in Axylus.
The largest denomination of money, used almost exclusively for massive purchases by trade organizations or nations is the gold talent, (GT) equal to one hundred pounds of gold. Each talent is divided into five, 7-inch-long bricks which are referred to as haurae (GH haurus for singular). Weighing twenty pounds, these too are far too valuable to see common circulation. One ounce coins (1/320 of one haurus) called darnae (GD, darnus) are circulated, and though most commoners are unlikely to ever see one, let alone own one, they are common enough among nobles and wealthy merchants.
Silver, by weight is generally understood to be worth 1/100th of what a comparable weight of gold i s. 100 lbs of silver is still a talent (ST). A bar of silver is called an Arius (SA, ariae plural). One ounce coins see use mostly in livestock trading and are called glasae (SG, glasus). Far more common however, are the half ounce coins called bathae (SB). When a merchant asks a silver for a given item, he is almost certainly asking for a bathus. This is the coin most skilled laborers and soldiers recieve their pay in.
Lastly, there is the humble cantus (CC). A small (1/4 ounce) copper coin worth 1/100th of the bathus. Copper money is typically not made in larger denominations. Though the most common coin in the continent, it is not even twice as prevalent as the bathus. The simple reason being that most peasants only transact their largest purchases in cash, instead settling most trades of goods and services by bartering.
