What about its value? Perhaps some prices of common products could be provided for comparison. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 193.219.57.125 (talk) 18:52, 17 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

As is not coming from Aes. The genitive of aes is aeris, absolutly different from that one of as that was assis, so the two words have an absolutly dfferent etymology. The better hypotesis I've found is from greek (ancient of course) εις (eis, also εις in doric dialect and ας in tarentine one, being Tarentum a doric colony) in the meaning of "one", "whole". An as was the "entire" weight of a "libra" (a pound) made from twelve unciæ. (From "libra" come the french "livre" and the italian "lira".)

I've been wondering: I thought there was a Roman coin called an ass. Is this the same? Am I just remembering wrongly? Cramyourspam (talk) 16:14, 21 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

The plural of as is asses. —
