* In B. xii. c. 32 — it is supposed by some that it is the Roman Libra 
that is meant, under the name of *' Mina," as containing eighty-four 
Denarii. If so, it must be the old Eoman Libra, as it is more generally 
thought that the Libra of Pliny's time contained ninety-six Denarii, of 
sixty grains, within a fraction. 
t One thousand Paces made a Eoman " Mille Passuum," or Mile, 
1618 yards English.
