**Archaeogenetics reveals fine-scale genetic continuity and patterns of kinship and health in medieval Finland**
"_Using ancient genomic data, contemporary Finnish Biobank data, and identity-by-descent (IBD) analyses, we identified strong regional continuity between the medieval and modern Finnish populations, and evidence for mobility within Finland and between Finland and Scandinavia._"

Following on from the post about banking in #ancient #Rome, I thought I'd share this piece. A Denarius was the standard day's wage for a labourer in Ancient Rome. This one is interesting as it is not all that it seems. It is a "Fouree", an ancient counterfeit coin made of copper and plated with silver. https://coinofnote.com/19-b-c-rome-augustus-denarius-fouree/

Collecting #AncientCoins, particularly those from Rome is popular. But how much do you know about the #Roman #banking system? Invicta has you covered with this 19 minute video on the banking system in #Ancient #Rome: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nw-TszklK-g (Not much mention of specific coins, but an interesting discussion on how it worked)
