A Day's Wage in Silver: Ancient Times to Today
For most of human history, money wasn't paper — it was silver. And a worker's pay wasn't measured in dollars… it was measured in metal.
In this video, we track a day's wage in silver from the ancient world to modern times. From Roman laborers and medieval farmers to 1800s American workers and today's paycheck earners, we break down how many ounces of silver a day of human labor has been worth across centuries.
You'll discover:
How much silver a worker earned in ancient Rome
Medieval and early American daily wages in silver
How the Industrial Age changed labor value
What today's wages equal in silver ounces
Whether human labor has gained or lost value over time
When currencies rise and fall, metals tell a different story. Silver has acted as a long-term measuring stick for human effort — and the comparison is eye-opening.
