Page 3 note 5 If aeraria ratio is taken to refer to the exchange rate between silver and bronze, a reasonable meaning can be assigned to Cicero, pro Quinctio 17—Cum pecuniam C. Quinctius P. Scapulae debuisset, per te, C. Aquili, decidit P. Quinctius quid liberis eius dissolveret. Hoc eo per te agebatur quodpropter aerariam rationem non satis erat in tabulis inspexisse quantum deberetur, nisi ad Castoris quaesisses quantum solveretur. The use of the official rate of exchange seems to have been universal in Computing interest, though not necessarily in paying it (see notes 2 and 3, above).
