The Superb, after all the trouble that has bel,,Aoo

ROME.
" History informs us, that
so long as the Roman empire,
a pattern of the best of Go-
vernments, held up its glory
and greatness, it maintained,
with little or no change, the
standard measure and purity
of the coin. But after the
loose times of Commodus had
led in need and excess, and
so that shift of changing the
standard by enhancing the
coin, the majesty of the empire
fell by degrees. Vospissius
says, 'The steps by which the
State descended were visible
most by the gradual altera-
tion of the coin; and tbere is
no surer sign of consumption
in the State than tile raising
of money.' "—Extract from
