Ancient Romans used different ways to count money, like counting coins and using special tools. They had coins with pictures on them, so people could see what they were holding. Sometimes they even counted by weighing the coins in their hands!
Examples
- A soldier checked his pay by weighing a bag of silver in one hand and a bag of bronze in the other.
