Outline
• money:
      1. 1. pĕcūnia (most gen. term: denoting either money generally or a sum of m.): fatal m. (personified), funesta p., Juv. 1, 113: ready m., praesens p., Pl. Capt. 2, 2, 8; also, numerata p., Cic. Top. 13, 53: a large sum of m., grandis s. magna p., Cic. (v. large, 1, 2): to make m., p. facere, Cic. Div. 1, 49, fin. (so, rem facere, Hor. Ep. 1, 1, 65): the pl. denotes sums of m.: to exact, levy sums of m., pecunias exigere, imperare, Cic. in Pis. 16, 38.
      2. 2. nūmus or nummus (strictly, a piece of m., a coin; but freq. in gen. sense, esp. of ready money): to have plenty of (ready) m., in suis n. multis esse (opp. to, in aere alieno esse), Cic. Verr. 4, 6, 11: to have in ready m. ("cash"), in numis habere, id. Att. 8, 10: the value of m. fluctuated, jactabatur temporibus illis numus, id. Off. 3, 20, 80. (N.B.--As numus denotes properly a single piece of money, grandis numus would denote not a large sum of money, but a large-sized coin.)
      3. 3. mŏnēta (money as coined): false or counterfeit m., falsa m., Plin. 33, 9, 46: old and new m., m. prisca, nova, Ov. F. 1, 222.
      4. 4. argentum (silver money: also in gen. sense): he paid down the m. on the spot, a. annumeravit illico, Ter. Ad. 3, 3, 15: Hor. (N.B.--Not so in common prose.)
      5. 5. aes, aeris, n. (money being originally copper: rare): to buy with one's own m., aere emere suo, Ter. Ph. 3, 2, 26: also pl. = sums of m., Hor. A. P. 345. (Not in Cic.; for aes circumforaneum, Att. 2, 1, 9, is a playful expression, formed for contrast with aes Corinthium: nor in Liv., except in strict sense, the old copper coinage.)
      6. 6. aurum (poet.): Virg.: Hor.
      7. 7. prĕtium (price paid down: often in bad sense, a bribe): to buy promises with ready m., spem pretio emere, Ter. Ad. 2, 2, 11: worth any m., quantivis preti, ib. 5, 2, 15: Cic.: v. bribe.
      8. 8. sumptus, ūs (expense: also, money laid out or to be laid out): to keep (a son) sparingly supplied with m., sumptum exigue praebere, Ter. Heaut. 1, 2, 33: v. expense, outlay. Phr.: relating to m., pecuniarius, numarius: questions dealing with m., quaestiones pecuniariae, Quint. 12, 1, 26: Cic.: embarrassment in m. matters, difficultas rei numariae, Cic. Verr. 4, 6, 11: Dig.: less freq. argentarius (esp. when reference is made to banking concerns): care for m.-matters, argentaria cura, Ter. Ph. 5, 6, 46 (5, 7, 3): having (much) m., pecuniosus, numatus (v. moneyed): prov. m. makes the man, dat census honores, Ov. F. 1, 217: cf. Hor. S. 2, 5, 8, et genus et virtus, nisi cum re, vilior alga est: that may be had for m., venalis, Sall. Jug. 35, extr.
