This tool has conversion to dollars (for those of us in the USA). Is it adjusted for inflation? Example: Right now the conversion for 1 denarius is $8. But someday that will be out of date. How often is this part of the tool updated?
Last updated 2023 according to its Info page, but that may not relate to your query. The conversion could be as ancient as 2014.
Not really directly related but this got me thinking … so this always puzzles me, should the value be taken at the numerical facet or the power of purchasing? or does it matter?
For example: 2000+ years ago 30 denarii can support 1 month of livelihood in average. 2000+ years later 3000 USD can support 1 month of livelihood in average.
For example:
2000+ years ago 30 denarii can support 1 month of livelihood in average.
2000+ years later 3000 USD can support 1 month of livelihood in average.
but the time and inflation grows in parallel…so does it mean that the numbers meant nothing? The essence is the same only the number changes, hmm… maybe I need some economy class… hope I'm making sense .
Given that 1 denarius = ancient Roman daily wage (for c. 6 hours), will 30 denarii support for one month and how many people are being supported? The equivalence is usually based on wages, where 1 denarius = $US 43.50

At least for the site, using minimum wage, rule of thumb, about 40% of minimum wage ($8+). That works out to $20k/year per worker.
But another article noted deficit spending was achieved by successive reductions in silver in each denarius. Not an easy equation.
The Video last month when pre-orders were being taken for the hardcover of Unseen Realm Expanded Edition, announced to us that the digital version was going to be released on October 1. I've not seen or heard anything from Logos about this.
Hi all Is there an easy way to add multiple anchors to a note at once. As far as I can see I can't paste in a list of verses in the usual format (eg Acts 9:1; 1 Peter 3:2...) or link to a passage list. Has anyone got any tips about how I can add multiple anchors at the same time? Thanks Paul
This should be easy, but it isn't. How can I determine how many books in my library have been downloaded to my hard drive? Additionally, how can I force the download of all books if I didn't select that option during the installation?
Received my copy of the expanded edition hardcover version today and noticed that one of the introductory pages states it's possible to add a digital copy of this book to Logos. Unfortunately, the link provided (https://logos.com/LexhamPress) takes you to a Baker Books page with no obvious way to obtain the digital copy of…
I have always used the orange page numbers. Can I add them back into my book as I read?
