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 But someday that will be out of date.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.
I get a lot of marketing emails from Logos, and sometimes it has a free book. So I clicked ok. I am familiar with this process, and historically when I click on it, I need to click again to see if it says "owned" or not, and then click a third time to move it to the cart and a fourth to actually buy the book for $0. That…
Does anyone know if this feature was taken away? I have used it several times but I went to scan a book into my library and I am not seeing it under the menu. This was a really nice feature to have and I believe they discussed it on the newest released in passing but I don't think anyone talked about it going away.
I am not from a liturgical church (no disrespect those who are), but have found a good use for the liturgical day section in sermon manager. I put things like communion, elder installation, child dedication, baptism, etc. on that day to remind me we are doing that on that Sunday. The problem is when I move a sermon to a…
