denarius

Ancient silver money

A denarius was a silver coin in ancient Rome, the standard currency for everyday transactions and military pay.

The word appears in biblical translations—the laborer's daily wage in the parable of the vineyard workers.

In historical and religious contexts, denarii (the Latin plural) refers to Roman-era money generally.
