What does TRIENS mean in Scrabble?
noun
historical
A small bronze or copper coin of ancient Rome worth one third of an as, the basic unit of Roman currency.
The triens formed part of the early Roman system of bronze coinage, sitting below the as in value and marked with symbols indicating its fraction, much as the quadrans and semis marked other fractions of the same unit. Collectors and historians of ancient coinage still study surviving examples to trace how Roman currency and its markings changed over time. In later Byzantine coinage, a related but different gold coin also carried a similar fractional role.
