1 Denarius, Roman Republic, 46 BCE
date: label: date made
content: 46 BCE
notes: label: Description
content: The word money is derived from the Roman goddess Juno Moneta. She did not represent money to ancient Romans; rather, her name meant “she who warns.” She became associated with money because coins were minted in her temple in Rome. Over time, moneta came to be used to refer to places where coins were made and eventually to money itself. Juno Moneta is depicted on this Roman coin from the 1st century BCE.
