Описание: Step inside the Roman Solidus mint and discover how one gold coin helped stabilise an empire.

This full-process historical documentary reveals the economic engineering, metallurgical precision, and political strategy behind the Roman Solidus, introduced under Emperor Constantine I in the early 4th century. At a time when inflation and currency debasement threatened imperial stability, the Solidus restored confidence through strict weight and gold purity standards.

• Refining and standardising high-purity gold
• Melting and alloy control inside Roman furnaces
• Casting measured gold blanks with precise weight
• Hand-striking coins using engraved imperial dies
• Quality control through weight verification and trimming
• Anti-counterfeiting measures embedded in design
• Distribution across military, trade, and taxation systems

Blending Roman metallurgy, monetary reform, imperial policy, and economic stability, this video offers a rare behind-the-scenes look at how currency became a tool of state survival. The Solidus was more than gold—it was a controlled standard that rebuilt trust across markets, armies, and provinces.
