[QUOTE]Originally posted by Ephestion: [QB] You should distnguish nomisma from money used today its not the same thing. Money we use today is a piece of paper, like a food stamp with a prescribed value. Nomisma carried its own worth for example a gold coin was worth its weight in gold. Some times ancient governments would cheat a little especially true in the Middle Ages to try and make their currency worth more than its metal was worth. This evolved into eventually having no nomisma ie credit cards. Banks today represent a networked government treasury, in ancient times the treasury was in one place and heavily guarded.
