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.
