i think it was about 60 - 90 pound which was high back then but i don't no what it was in denarii
Slaves were slaves, they were not paid. At least not a salary. Slaves received tips and gifts and at certain times of the year, such as the Saturnalia, they received either a bonus or a gift. The urban domestic slaves received more in the way of compensation than the country farm workers as they were in closer contact with the master and his family and their services were often rewarded more frequently than those of the rural slave.
A denarius was a Roman silver coin containing about 3 grams or 3.9 grams of pure silver. It's difficult to give its present day worth because its value would depend on the price of silver today. To find an exact answer, you would have to check the precious metal prices in the financial pages of your daily newspaper.
Your question cannot be answered completely because ancient Rome had no coin comparable to our dollar. Remember too, that the Roman coins were of pure metals. For example a denarius had 3 grams of pure silver and would be worth about $300 dollars today. This was one day's pay for an unskilled worker and it certainly was not valued as we would value it today. Using the denarius as a marker, a thousand dollars would be worth 3 denarii and 5 1/2 asses, or thereabouts depending on the price of silver at present. But remember, this is in present day values, the ancients had much lower values for their coins.
Well I don't know much about coinage but ill try and help: This was in about 50-100 AD by the way: 1 pound 1 unit, about a labourers daily wage 5 pounds 4 sesterciis 100 pounds 100 sestercii or 25 denarii 1p 1 quarter of a sestercii There were probably more, and don't trust my spelling either. This should help you, and make it eisier to find out more.
$6000 is about the equivalence of 300 denarii
Around $6,000
Around $6,000
A denarius was one day's pay, so 100 denarii was equal to 100 day's pay.
A silver denarius during the first century was worth about $21 of bread, so 25 silver denarii probably would be about $525.
They could range from 2000 denarii to 6000 denarii. But later the boy slaves where lots of denarii!!!

It depends on its age and condition. They are worth from $15.00 to $100.00 + on ebay.

A denarius was a Roman silver coin, so based on historical exchange rates, 200 denarii would be equivalent to roughly $800 to $900 in today's US dollars. However, it's important to note that the purchasing power of money has changed significantly over time, so this is just a rough estimate.
