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 But someday that will be out of date.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.
Is there any way to make the translation tool work on non-English text in footnotes?
I have a Chromebook notebook computer and it can install Android apps. But unfortunately, if I try to install Logos Bible Study App, it says: Logos Bible Study App by Faithlife isn't available on Google Play on this device. Most other apps work just fine, so there appears to be some intentional constraint that the app…
I have a young preacher who is a Logos user and would like me to share some of my sermons with him. How do we do that in Logos? I know how to export, but there does not seem to be a way to directly send to him. Thanks for any help!!
After the recent releases of Logos accessing the English-Greek Interlinear into my Bible text window has become somewhat tedious. Instead of 2 mouse clicks—the bare minimum!—to expose and hide it as before, it now requires a minimum of 6, unless there's a better way. What's your suggestion?
Hello! I have had LOGOS fof a while, purchased many different books and until now have only used it on my iPhone. I bought a subscription so I could access the Bible Study Builder…So far so good. I have a (Purchased) copy of NASB on my phone that I have used for a few years. But on the LapTop version it does NOT show up as…
