The smallest coin of the Roman coinage system after Augustus implemented reform was the copper as. The denarius was a silver coin originally representing a value of ten asses (not the animal!). By the first century AD, under these reforms, the value of a denarius had been increased to 16 asses. An as officially weighed about 3.9 grams, with a value in 2015 of about two cents ($ 0.02). This would, in absolute terms, give the denarius a value of about thirty-two cents ($ 0.32).
