Ancient Use Of Gold and Silver.


That the ancients used gold and sill
yer occasionally in traffic is correct,
but they used other articles at the
same time. 1t was general system
of barter among them, and changes of
raiment had as fixed value as
gold and silver. Gold and silver was
used more for ornament than for a
medium of exchange. Their persons
and the public buildings were largely
ornamented with these metals, and
when called Oh, the whole nation
would not hesitate to contribute all
they had Of these metals to make a
calf.
