The Roman sestertius.

Sestertius is the Latin name for a
Roman coin meaning half of the third.
that is, two and half, from "semi"
meaning half and "tertius" meaning
third
When silver coinage was introduced
in Rome in 26S B. c.. with the copper
as a unit, the silver sestertius was
valued at 21a asses. The standard as
retained only one-fourth of its original
weight. The sestertius was equiva-
lent to the original libral as; and, as
accounts had formerly been made in
terms of the libral as. they were now
made in terms of the sestertii. After
the first Punic war. which ended PAL
B. G., the seStertius ceased TO be
coined. The weight of the as was many
times reduced. In pit B. c. the de-
narius was made equal 10 IS asses
and the sestertius to asses. With

party OF Apaches, takes refuge in
a cave the atmosphere OF which
has a remarkable effect on him.
Yielding TO his influence he sinks
into Inconsistencies. his last
thoughts centered on the glow from
the planet Mars. Awaking. Carter
realizes that he has. in some in
comprehensive manner, been trans
ported to Mars. He IS captured by
Tars Tarkas and a party of Mar
Gtian warriors. He is conveyed,
prisoner. to a Marian city. Three
days later a fleet of warships from
the neighboring state Of Hellum is
attacked by Carriers captors. the
green Martans. one of the air
ships is captured. Among the pris-
oners is a young woman Of a race
different from the green Martians
and closely resemb bling the women
OF the earth. Carter ascertains
that the fair prisOner's name is
Dejah ThOris, granddaughter of the
Jeddak. or ruler. OF Helium. Ac-
cOrding to custom she is doomed
to die by torture. He fights for her
and assures her Of his sympathy.
