Roman money and shops
						Slaves did the shopping for rich Roman famillies.They would go to the shop and buy whatever was needed. The shops in a town would usually be in the forum which was like a market place. The shops would have counters thar opened up onto the street with shutters folded back.
	Roman money was in metal coins. One coin was called a denarius. It was made from melted metal . The coins were used to pay for fruit and vegetables. 1 gold Aureus = 25 Denarii 1silver Denarus = 4 sesteri
