sestertĭus

  • 1 sestertius

    sestertĭus, a, um, num. adj. [contr. from semis-tertius], two and a half; only in the phrases sestertius nummus and milia sestertia; v. I. A. and I. B. 1. infra.— Mostly as subst.
    I.
    sestertĭus (written also with the characters HS.; v. B. 4. infra), ii, m. (sc. nummus); also in full: sestertius nummus; gen. plur. sestertiūm; rarely sestertiorum or sestertiūm nummūm, a sesterce, a small silver coin, originally equal to two and a half asses, or one fourth of a denarius. When the as was reduced in weight, during the Punic wars, the denarius was made equal to sixteen asses, and the sestertius continued to be one fourth of the denarius. Its value, up to the time of Augustus, was twopence and half a farthing sterling, or four and one tenth cents; afterwards about one eighth less. The sestertius was the ordinary coin of the Romans, by which the largest sums were reckoned. The sestertium (1000 sestertii) was equal (up to the time of Augustus, afterwards about one eighth less) to
    ► 8 17 s.
    1 d. sterling, or $42.94 in United States coin (v. Zumpt, Gram. § 842; Dict. of Ant. s. v. as, sestertius).
    A.
    In gen.:

    sestertius, quod duobus semis additur (dupondius enim et semis antiquus sestertius est) et veteris consuetudinis, ut retro aere dicerent, ita ut semis tertius, quartus semis pronunciarent, ab semis tertius sestertius dicitur,

    Varr. L. L. 5, § 173 Müll.: nostri quartam denarii partem, quod efficie [p. 1686] batur ex duobus assibus et tertio semisse, sestertium nominaverunt, Vitr. 3, 1 med.; Cic. Div. in Caecil. 10, 30:

    taxatio in libras sestertii singuli et in penuriā bini,

    Plin. 18, 13, 34, § 130.—Freq. joined with nummus:

    mille nongentos quinquaginta sestertios nummos,

    Col. 3, 3, 9.— Gen. plur. sestertiūm: quid verum sit, intellego;

    sed alias ita loquor, ut concessum est, ut hoc vel pro deum dico vel pro deorum, alias, ut necesse est, cum triumvirum non virorum, cum sestertiūm nummūm non nummorum, quod in his consuetudo varia non est,

    Cic. Or. 46, 56:

    sestertiūm sexagena milia nummūm,

    Varr. R. R. 3, 6, 1; cited ap. Plin. 10, 20, 23, § 45.—Rarely, sestertiorum:

    duo milia sestertiorum,

    Col. 3, 3, 13.—
    B.
    In partic.
    1.
    As adj. in neutr. plur., with milia (in Varr. and Col.):

    ut asinus venierit sestertiis milibus LX. (= sexaginta milibus sestertium),

    Varr. R. R. 2, 1, 14:

    grex centenarius facile quadragena milia sestertia ut reddat,

    id. ib. 3, 6, 6:

    hos numquam minus dena milia sestertia ex melle recipere,

    id. ib. 3, 6, 11:

    Hirrius ex aedificiis duodena milia sestertia capiebat,

    id. ib. 3, 17, 3:

    sestertiis octo milibus,

    Col. 3, 3, 8; 3, 3, 9; 3, 3, 10.—
    2.
    To express more than two complete thousands sestertia is used as plurale tantum, with distrib. numerals (rare before the Aug. per.):

    si qui vilicus ex eo fundo, qui sestertia dena meritasset... domino XX. milia nummūm pro X. miserit (= decem milia sestertiūm),

    Cic. Verr. 2, 3, 50, § 119:

    candidati apud eum HS. quingena deposuerunt (= quindecim milia sestertiūm),

    id. Att. 4, 15, 7:

    capit ille ex suis praediis sexcena sestertia, ego centena ex meis,

    id. Par. 6, 3, 49:

    bis dena super sestertia nummum,

    Hor. Ep. 2, 2, 33:

    Tiberius Hortalo se respondisse ait, daturum liberis ejus ducena sestertia singulis,

    Tac. A. 2, 38:

    princeps capiendis pecuniis posuit modum usque ad dena sestertia,

    id. ib. 11, 7.—Rarely with card. numerals:

    sestertia centum,

    Sall. C. 30, 6:

    septem donat sestertia,

    Hor. Ep. 1, 7, 80:

    centum sestertia,

    Mart. 6, 20, 1:

    sex sestertia,

    id. 6, 30, 1; cf.:

    ne cui jus esset nisi qui... HS. CCCC. census fuisset,

    Plin. 33, 2, 8, § 32.—
    3.
    Millions of sesterces were expressed in three ways:
    a.
    By the words centena (or centum) milia sestertiūm, preceded by a numeral adverb (rare): miliens centena milia sestertium, a hundred millions, etc., Plin. 12, 18, 41, § 84.—
    b.
    With ellips. of the words centena milia, the gen. plur. sestertiūm being preceded by the numeral adv. (rare;

    once in Cic.): HS. (i. e. sestertium) quater decies P. Tadio numerata Athenis... planum faciam (i.e. sestertiūm quater decies centena milia, = 1,400,000 sesterces),

    Cic. Verr. 2, 1, 39, § 100 (where B. and K. after Orell. read. ex conj., sestertium; v. Kühner, Gram. § 229, 5 b.).—
    c.
    With sestertium, declined as subst. neutr., and the numeral adverbs from decies upward (also with ellips. of centena or centum milia; sestertium here = centum milia sestertiūm. The origin of this usage, which became general, has been much disputed, and it is usual to explain it, after Non. p. 495 (cf. Quint. 1, 6, 18), as a grammatical blunder, by which the gen. plur. sestertium has been mistaken for a neutr. sing., Zumpt, Gram. § 873; but it more probably grew out of the adj. use of sestertium with mille, supra; v. Fischer, Gram. 2, p. 269; cf. Neue, Formenl. 1, p. 116; Kühner, Gram. § 209).
    (α).
    Nom. and acc.:

    quom ei testamento sestertium milies relinquatur,

    Cic. Off. 3, 24, 93:

    nonne sestertium centies et octogies... Romae in quaestu reliquisti?

    id. Pis. 35, 86:

    sestertium sexagies, quod advexerat Domitius,

    Caes. B. C. 1, 23, 4:

    sestertium quadringenties aerario illatum est,

    Tac. A. 13, 31:

    sestertium deciens numeratum esse,

    Cic. Verr. 2, 2, 7, § 20; 2, 3, 70, § 163:

    Sen. Cons. ad Helv. 10, 3:

    quater milies sestertium suum vidit,

    id. Ben. 2, 27, 1; Plin. 18, 6, 7, § 37; Tac. A. 6, 45; 12, 22; 12, 53; 13, 31; id. H. 4, 47; Suet. Calig. 37; id. Galb. 5.—Sometimes with ellips. of sestertium:

    dissipatio, per quam Antonius septies miliens avertit,

    Cic. Phil. 5, 4, 11.—
    (β).
    Gen.:

    syngrapha sestertii centies per legatos facta,

    Cic. Phil. 2, 37, 95:

    argenti ad summam sestertii decies in aerarium rettulit,

    Liv. 45, 4, 1:

    Sen. Q. N. 1, 16, 1:

    liberalitas decies sestertii,

    Tac. A. 2, 37; 2, 86:

    centies sestertii largitio,

    id. ib. 12, 58; 12, 53; Plin. Ep. 10, 3 (5), 2.—
    (γ).
    Abl.:

    quadragies sestertio villam venisse,

    Varr. R. R. 3, 17, 3:

    sexagies sestertio, tricies sestertio,

    Val. Max. 9, 1, 4:

    centies sestertio cenavit uno die,

    Sen. Cons. ad Helv. 9, 11:

    pantomimae decies sestertio nubunt,

    id. ib. 12, 5; id. Ben. 4, 36, 1; Plin. 8, 48, 74, § 196:

    accepto quinquagies sestertio,

    Tac. A. 3, 17; 6, 17; 16, 13; id. H. 4, 42; Plin. Ep. 3, 19, 7; Suet. Caes. 50; id. Tib. 48; id. Calig. 38, 4.—The sign HS., i.e. II. and semis, stands for sestertius, sestertia, and sestertium, in all the uses described above; when it is necessary, to avoid ambiguity, its meanings are distinguished thus: HS. XX. stands for sestertii viginti; HS. X̅X̅., with a line over the numeral, = sestertia vicena, or 20,000 sesterces; H̅S̅. X̅X̅., with lines over both signs, = sestertium vicies, or 2,000,000 sesterces (Kühner, Gram. § 229 Anm. 1). But in recent edd. the numerals are usu. written in full, when the meaning would otherwise be doubtful.—

  • 8 H

    H, h, the eighth letter of the Latin alphabet and the weakest guttural. The sign is borrowed from the Greek, in which H was the old form of the spiritus asper, corresp. to the Latin H-sound (HEKATON, hekaton, ÊOS, hos, etc.). Even some of the ancients doubted whether the Latin H was properly a letter:

    si H littera est, non nota,

    Quint. 1, 5, 19; cf.:

    H litteram, sive illam spiritum magis quam litteram dici oportet, etc.,

    Gell. 2, 3, 1. Before the fall of the republic, the sound of H before vowels became so weak that it was frequently omitted in writing; and this weakness became more marked in many words in the time of the empire; cf.: aheneus and aeneus; cohors and coörs; prehendo and prendo; vehemens and vemens, etc. (v. Corss. Ausspr. 1, 96 sqq.).As an initial and medial, H may be combined with any vowel, but the orthography, in this respect, was inconstant: thus we have herus and erus; honus, honera, and onus, onera; harundo and arundo; and even hac for ac (Inscr. Orell. 23); aruspex and haruspex; ercisco, erctum, and hercisco, herctum; aheneus and aëneus; Annibal and Hannibal; Adria and Hadria, etc.; v. Gell. l. l.—As a sign for the aspiration of the consonants c, p, r, and t (as in Greek the aspirates ch, ph, th were originally designated by KH, HH, TH), H first came into use in the seventh century of Rome; cf. Cic. Or. 48, 160; and v. the letter C.— Medial h is often dropped.—As a final, h occurs only in the interjections ah and vah.In the formation of words, h was changed into c before t, as tractum from traho; vectum from veho; and coalesced with s into x, as traxi, vexi; cf. also onyx from onych-s; v. the letter X.As an abbreviation, H. denotes hic, haec, hoc, hujus, etc.; habet, heres, honor, etc. HH. heredes. H. AQ. hic acquiescit. H. B. M. heredes bene merenti. H. C. Hispania citerior or hic condiderunt. H. E. T. heres ex testamento. H. F. C. heres faciundum curavit. H. L. hunc locum. H. L. ET. M. H. N. S. hic locus et monumentum heredem non sequitur. H. M. S. D. M. hoc monumentum sine dolo malo. H. S. E. hic situs est. H. S. F. hoc sibi fecit, etc.; v. Inscr. Orell. II. p. 461 sq.
    ► The abbreviation HS.
    for sestertium does not strictly belong here, because H is not the letter of that shape, but the numeral II. crossed; v. sestertius init.

    H litteram, sive illam spiritum magis quam litteram dici oportet, etc.,

    Gell. 2, 3, 1. Before the fall of the republic, the sound of H before vowels became so weak that it was frequently omitted in writing; and this weakness became more marked in many words in the time of the empire; cf.: aheneus and aeneus; cohors and coörs; prehendo and prendo; vehemens and vemens, etc. (v. Corss. Ausspr. 1, 96 sqq.).As an initial and medial, H may be combined with any vowel, but the orthography, in this respect, was inconstant: thus we have herus and erus; honus, honera, and onus, onera; harundo and arundo; and even hac for ac (Inscr. Orell. 23); aruspex and haruspex; ercisco, erctum, and hercisco, herctum; aheneus and aëneus; Annibal and Hannibal; Adria and Hadria, etc.; v. Gell. l. l.—As a sign for the aspiration of the consonants c, p, r, and t (as in Greek the aspirates ch, ph, th were originally designated by KH, HH, TH), H first came into use in the seventh century of Rome; cf. Cic. Or. 48, 160; and v. the letter C.— Medial h is often dropped.—As a final, h occurs only in the interjections ah and vah.In the formation of words, h was changed into c before t, as tractum from traho; vectum from veho; and coalesced with s into x, as traxi, vexi; cf. also onyx from onych-s; v. the letter X.As an abbreviation, H. denotes hic, haec, hoc, hujus, etc.; habet, heres, honor, etc. HH. heredes. H. AQ. hic acquiescit. H. B. M. heredes bene merenti. H. C. Hispania citerior or hic condiderunt. H. E. T. heres ex testamento. H. F. C. heres faciundum curavit. H. L. hunc locum. H. L. ET. M. H. N. S. hic locus et monumentum heredem non sequitur. H. M. S. D. M. hoc monumentum sine dolo malo. H. S. E. hic situs est. H. S. F. hoc sibi fecit, etc.; v. Inscr. Orell. II. p. 461 sq.
    ► The abbreviation HS.
    for sestertium does not strictly belong here, because H is not the letter of that shape, but the numeral II. crossed; v. sestertius init.
