Currency

Imperial currency for most of Imperial history consists of gold, silver, bronze, orichalcum and copper coinage, and is currently in a decimal format. From its introduction to the Republic, well into Imperial times, Imperial currency saw many changes in form, denomination, and composition. A persistent feature was the inflationary debasement and replacement of coins over the centuries. Notable examples of this followed the reforms of Georgius I. This trend continued into the various kingdoms of the Bellum Unificare I. A massive currency reform was augmented by George II & V.
The currency circulates in much of the Imperium. It is used alongside local currencies. For example, the gold aureus is legal tender in the Anglo-French empire despite the use of the lībra. Several dependencies and Commonwealth realms have adopted the Imperial currency as their own currency.

== Internal Currencies ==
While in essence the same currency and all equal to one another, in order to preserve the local traditions of each sub-realm, they all mint their own currencies for circulation within their own borders, except for Predacona Eterna which uses the Imperial Standard.
=== Roman Lira ===
The lira (plural lire) is the currency of the Roman Empire.
The term originates from the value of a pound weight (Latin: libra) of high purity silver. It was subdivided into 100 centesimi (singular: centesimo), which translates to "hundredths" or "cents".
=== Greek Drachama ===
The drachma (plural drachmae or drachmas) is subdivided into 100 lepta (singular leptum in the Greek Empire.
The name drachma is derived from the verb δράσσομαι (drássomai, "(I) grasp"). It is believed that the same word with the meaning of "handful" or "handle" is found in Linear B tablets of the Mycenean Pylos. Initially a drachma was a fistful (a "grasp") of six oboloí or obeloí (metal sticks, literally "spits") used as a form of currency as early as 1100 BC and being a form of "bullion": bronze, copper, or iron ingots denominated by weight.
