They used a wide variety of coins. They particularly used aureus (gold), denarius (silver), sestertius (bronze), dupondius (bronze), and as (copper).These coins were used in most of the republic and the western half of the empire.In the Roman empire, there were about six hundred mints. These mints were usually located in major cities, such as Corinth and Antioch.In the third century, they started to use different substances to replace some of the ones that they used before. __**PAPER**__ __**MONEY**__**?** No, they hadn't heard of it yet, and hadn't conquered any one who had it. Paper money was created in China, which Rome never took over. They didn't meet the Chinese until the first century A.D. They used what everyone else around them used. Coins! As they saw other cultures, they saw the coinage they used for money and trade. So, they used coins ,too. . **__ROMAN__ __TRADE__** Rome traded with many people. They received wool, lead, and tin from Britain. They also imported things like beef, corn, glass, iron, leather, olive oil, and wine. Their main trade partners were Spain, France, the Middle East, and North Africa. The merchants had to stop using the English Channel, at one point, because of pirates in that area. __**ROMAN**__ __**JOBS**__ Romans had many jobs;these jobs were broken up into categories. The categories were political, administration, military, farming, trades, merchants, construction, religious, entertainment, artists, lawyers, and teachers. A job was placed in a category by the kind of work the occupants of that job did. For example, construction was made of architects, builders, and others because they either designed the project or built it. Their salaries differed depending on the job. __**SOCIAL**__ __**CLASSES**__ __**OF**__ __**ROME**__ Yes, three actually. Slaves were at the bottom, with freedmen above them, and free citizens at the top. The free citizens class was divided into two groups, patricians and plebians. These were the richest people and the people elected to government positions. People think all Roman citizens wore togas, but only rich men wore togas. Rich women wore stolas, and the poor, slaves, and children wore tunics. Women, foreigners, freedmen, and slaves could not be citizens in Rome.
