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.

The basic unit of currency in ancient Rome was the bronze coin called an as.

A sestertius, another bronze coin, was worth four asses.

A silver coin, the denarius, was worth 16 asses.

There was also a gold coin in circulation, the aureuswhich had a fixed value of 25 denarii.

Rome currently uses the Euro. The Roman Empire used coins such as the aureaus (gold), the denareus (silver) and the sestrtius (brass). These coins were used from the third century b.c. until the middle of the third century a.d.
