I have a whole bunch of those back at the villa. Let me know if you want some advice on them. 12 denari for a basic model, but if you want a good one, you're looking at a good 8 or 9 nummus aureus.

People think there's some sort of enigma to them. It's like they've never even used one, you know?

Edit: Apologies, I have been visiting the East. By 12, I meant XII and by 8 or 9, I meant VIII or IX.

XII is an extortion price. How am I supposed to feed my family while paying for something like that. Prices have really gone up ever since Diocletian started messing with the coins. Anyone know how many denarrii I can get for X old school pre-Diocletian denarrii these days?

Hey, I've been saying the same thing about discovering postpunk band Tones On Tails for around thirty years now!

Woah, wait. You aren't handling that with your bare hands are you? You dont want to know what the Pharisees do with those things.

It's for sizing dowels, right?

They're not for making glove fingers! Can you use them for making glove fingers? Sure, and I can haul water by walking my goat back and forth to the well with my chamber pot on her back, but I don't.
