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 merchant counted his coins like he was counting his sheep at night.
- A soldier checked his pay by weighing a bag of silver in one hand and a bag of bronze in the other.
- A child used beads on an abacus to count how many coins her mother had saved.
