Resumen de A Note on Some Price Indications from Roman Egypt Featuring Peculiar Amounts of Drachmas
In Roman Egypt, prices of real estate and animals tend to have been settled in multiples of four drachmas so that payment could be in tetradrachma-coins. If such prices were not divisible by four, the readings of numerals or the conversion from bronze to silver drachmas would turn out to be wrong in many cases. Only a small number of amounts not divisible by four turn out to be inescapably correct.
