leaves it uncertain whether 69 or 70 of thefc Mili- 
arenfes were coined out of the Pound. If 69, the 
proportion of gold to iilver was alnaon: 14I to i j if

“ Follis, confiding of the fmaller filver which was 
“ paid to the foldiers, and thence called Miliarenfes, 
“ each of which is worth Siliquas \of and. 
“ the Follis contains i25» which make 218 Siliquas 
“ and 9 nummi; or 109 of the Miliarenfes now- 
“ current and 9 nummi ; which are worth 9 Solidi^, 
“ I Miliarenfis, aud 9 nummi, and the Purfe of 
pieces of th.s lefler filver, was called a Follis (i.)
